Applied, this is definitely an improvement. I'd like to really flesh this out at some point so that platforms can do whatever makes the most sense for them. SPARC64, for example, has synchronized cycle counter registers, so could use that by default there. It really doesn't belong in the config machinery, since many platforms that might be able to use the cycle counter register do not know if it's safe until runtime. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
