I think you're misinformed. The "nohz timer" initially was done only for s390. Since other platforms need this too, Martin generalized the code and it was included in the architecture independent part of the Linux kernel. That's one of the areas where s390 is leading the flock. | Rob ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
