One reason - consistency with kernels running on the *same* hardware prior to commit d0a533b18235d362 (ARM: 7452/1: delay: allow timer-based delay implementation to be selected). You may see BogoMIPS of 800 prior to that commit dropping to 6 after that commit on the *same* piece of hardware. If we don't break any user assumptions here, no further changes needed. -- Catalin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
