There were mentioned examples: calibrated loops instructions based on CPU type. Think rc5 cracking for a good example -- they try to squeeze every last cycle out. There are likely applications that are more critical that will just do bad things. I, for one, would rather have mainstream support of common hardware and functionality than a oddball hardware case. I'd like ACPI support far more than running two different CPUs on a machine where I can easily afford uniform CPUs. That said, if you want to write the code and support it and maintain it, feel free to volunteer to do so. That's another thing about volunteer groups -- you have some ability to see what you like in the mix. - --Michael -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (NetBSD) Comment: See http://www.flame.org/~explorer/pgp for my keys iEYEARECAAYFAj0PevYACgkQl6Nz7kJWYWYYhwCcCzqrLGNvMekBg67ayc2fv/TI DgoAn0+6ib/zpDMnK0EHA9JdddKRwoZa =/a2Z -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
