Hi Dave,

It seems like forever you go you sent me patches to trinity to make it
work on sparc. I'm curious if you've tried running it again more
recently ?   Given the work I've done it to do more creative things with
VM related syscalls, I wouldn't be surprised if it also found some sparc
specific bugs in thp.

It should now also scale up to run a lot more child processes than the older
version, with the -c option, which could be interesting on some of the
bigger sparc machines.

(It's entirely possible I've broken the compile on non-x86 in
 current git, but it shouldn't be much work to fix up).

git://github.com/kernelslacker/trinity is where it lives now.

	Dave
