Package: linux-source-2.6
Severity: wishlist
-- System Information:
Debian Release: 5.0.6
APT prefers stable
APT policy: (500, 'stable')
Architecture: i386 (i586)
Kernel: Linux 2.6.26
Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
The /proc/cpuinfo shows that the geode lx has cmov, so I changed the sources
to compile a kernel with cmov support.
diff arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu.bak

Because I'm running an alix board with geode cpu I was able to verify that
this does noch break the kernel. It seems that all geode do have cmov so
I think this is a save bet. This wish also applies to the 2.6.32 kernel in
testing aka squeeze.
There is also a related discussion on the LKML on this topic.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Stephan

As I previously explained, the proposed change is incorrect.
Please talk to the upstream developers if you want any change to be
made.
