I would like to follow the ia64 SAL spec (http://download.intel.com/design/itanium/specupdt/245359.pdf). There is no corresponding Intel spec for x86_64. For examples of what I would like, see the ia64 files: include/asm-ia64/sal.h, include/asm-ia64/sn/sn_sal.h, and arch/ia64/kernel/sal.c. -- Russ Anderson, OS RAS/Partitioning Project Lead SGI - Silicon Graphics Inc rja@....com -- 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/
