There are plenty of other reasons for wanting to know more, eg picking which video encode tables to use - but I still agree they belong in user space since cpuid is available from user space too - 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/
