Is this patch going to be incorporated into the kernel? Or where can I
get it? Is it good on a pentium as well as PPro?
I haven't had a chance to modify it for 2.1 yet, but I would like to
see Linus put it in 2.1. You can get it from my web page (see my
.signature below). It works on a Pentium Pro, but only delivers a
marginal speedup.
