I would suggest to just use C for this. I do this on x86-64 and I don't think there is any reason to use this hard to maintain code for it. It's probably a left over from Linus first experiments with inline assembly, similar to the old string.h and by now so obsolete it doesn't even stink anymore. -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/
