This is all solvable I'm sure, particularly if clocksources are the way of the future (e.g., is x86/64 native going to use generic_time any time soon)? -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
