They should all use the same BIOS code bases, except perhaps some embedded weirdnesses. We do still sort the entries > to remove zero length records and other suprises. That code could be actually dropped. And the sorting too. It's all not needed I think. AFAIK none of the e820 access code cares about any of that. 64bit only has it because I copied it originally and never bothered to remove it. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
