I would suggest that the init time table is infinitely saner, but if there will be compiler generated instructions that are hard to catch, do both: init time fixups for the __asm__ statements, and run time for compiler generated instructions. You really want the init time fixups anyway, because a really _really_ obvious optimisation is to remove `lock' prefixes on UP. -- Jamie - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
