More than a bugfix, this is a work-around for the Geode not being fully compatible with the instruction set which Fedora is compiled for. Emulating the missing NOPL opcode in a kernel trap handler is going to be 10-100 times slower than the original instruction sequence. Let's just hope that GCC doesn't have the habit of generating any of these inside tight loops. -- // Bernie Innocenti - http://codewiz.org/ \X/ Sugar Labs - http://sugarlabs.org/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
