Hi! > These patches extend and standardise local_t operations on each architectures, > allowing a rich set of atomic operations to be done on per-cpu data with > minimal performance impact.

Could you provide some Documentation/? Knowing when local_t can be used is kind-of important. Pavel -- Thanks for all the (sleeping) penguins.
