[PATCH 3/6] new timeofday i386 arch specific changes, part 2 for-mm (v.B3)
From: john stultz
Date: Fri Jun 17 2005 - 22:08:28 EST
Andrew, All,
To hopefully improve the review-ability of my changes, I've split up my
arch-i386 patch into four chunks. This patch is a cleanup patch for the
i386 arch in preparation of moving the the new timeofday infrastructure.
It moves some code from timer_tsc.c to a new tsc.c file.
It applies on top of my timeofday-arch-i386-part1_B3 patch. This patch
is part the timeofday-arch-i386 patchset, so without the following parts
it is not expected to compile.
Andrew, please consider for inclusion for testing into your tree.
thanks
-john
