[PATCH] i386 alternative_io implementation
From: Andy Whitcroft
Date: Wed Mar 07 2007 - 08:22:17 EST
Add an i386 implementation of alternative_io modelled on
the x86_64 version.
Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Ok, this seems to fix things up here. I have only boot
tested this on an SMP so I'd not call that 'heavily tested'
in any real sense but it might get you going until akpm
has a chance to comment.
