Hello misc@

I've read through the FAQ and done some searching on the mailing lists +
google, but I cannot find a definitive answer to my question.  To keep
it simple, I'm looking at installing OpenBSD on a ThinkPad T61p w/Intel
Core 2 Duo.  I've been reading that the amd64 platform will work however
the NX bit isn't supported.  Intel has since come out with their own
version of the NX bit for whatever reason (shouldn't they have just
copied it like they did everything else?), the XD bit.  Has this been
implemented anywhere so that the amd64-bit platform, running under an
Intel proc, will support W^X?  If not it looks like I should stick with
32-bit... and if not, any plans in the future on implementing Intel's
specific XD bit?


Thanks,
Brian Drain
