SubjectRe: [patch] epoll use a single inode ...

Hi,

Funny you mention this. We found some noticeable ppc64 regressions when
moving the dcache to standard list macros and had to do this to fix it
up:

static inline void prefetch(const void *x)
{
if (unlikely(!x))
return;
__asm__ __volatile__ ("dcbt 0,%0" : : "r" (x));
}
Urgh :)
