Version 1.1 of my x86 performance-monitoring counters driver is
now available at http://www.csd.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/perfctr/.

Summary of changes since version 1.0:
- Support for Linux kernels 2.2.14, 2.2.15 and 2.3.99-pre8.
- Changes to the driver and user-space library to reduce the
  number of getpid() calls. (Suggested by Ulrich Drepper.)
- Added support for the VIA Cyrix III processor.
- Performance improvements in the x86 driver interface.
- Some code cleanups.

This is primarily a maintenance release. The next version will
have API changes to support "multiplexing mode" (automatic
switching between different event types).
