I agree. Or maybe I'm missing the point. I guess the linux-smp is
supposed to be for "general" questions (i.e. Which Motherboard, How
many cpu's, How to compile....) Whereas smpdev is for kernel/software
development (i.e. Abysmal performance, /proc/smp, /proc/cpuinfo,
Multiple UltraSparcs, Multiple PowerPC....) Is this correct? But what
about "XXX seems to be broken with SMP, it used to work when 1 processor
was running." type questions... it's kinda SMP development but it's also
kinda general.
I'm going to subscribe to both and *expect* several cross posts. I
would like just one, but I can live with both and just realize I'll see
cross posts. I'll try to segragate my questions into their appropriate
lists...
