One of the sub-projects of the tickless kernel effort is to decouple lbolt from the clock cyclic. To that end, and to address performance issues, the value provided by lbolt will be delivered by a function, and no longer a variable. The mod API references lbolt in a couple of places, I'm changing those in favor of the new function. >> Cheers, >> - jonathan > > Along same lines: > > - mdb_prop_postmortem already answers that question for you > and is part of the module API > > - Anything involving changes to the module API should be mailed > to me and this alias beforehand for design review Certainly, once these are ready for review.
