I will take a look at that file. Maybe we can rewrite them in C, use a 16-bit C compiler to generate AT&T asm code and finally push the asm code in the kernel source tree. But perhaps there is no such ideal compiler. ;) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
