So, does the 4.3 release go out with the block of code ifdef'd for just alpha, or for every archicture? Are there any real-world bug-reports that lead to this code block being ifdef'd for all architectures rather than just alpha? If not, let's re-ifdef it to alpha and not create bug reports when 4.3 does finally ship, yes? > Anyway, back to this patch, why does it have to set MEM_CNTL to 0?

Even if the code is not exactly correct, is releasing it semi-correct but having it break people's real-world setups justified? b. -- Brian J. Murrell
