I totally disagree with you and Dirk. The "problem" lies firmly with
your attitude to linux and not with processor specifics.
Writing for i32_x86 makes a LOT of sense to me....
Firstly the ratio of i32_x86 to anything else means the vast majority
are unlikely to care less about your comment. I certainly only play
with linux on i32_x86 both as a hobby and professionally and I am at
TOTAL LIBERTY to "fork" my own kernel and do as I please regardless of
your boring opinion.
Secondly you guys are just too **** serious. If someone wants to write
assembler drivers shut up and let them get on with having fun.
The whole point of linux to me is to have as much fun as I can and a
bunch of pedantic old bores aren't going to stop me.
