SubjectRE: [PATCH 1/1] x86: replace cpu_up hard-coded mdelay with variable
Date

This is the topic of ongoing research, and I'm not ready to send
the patch setting a new default until I've heard back from a few more HW people.

Every system I've tested appears to work with delay 0.
Were I to guess, I'd venture that every
system that runs an X86_64 kernel might count as "modern" -- even
the 2005 AMD Turion laptop I've got in the bone pile.

Unfortunately only the converse is true. There is an ancient document specifying
that the delay may be necessary.

cheers,
