Subject[PATCH: NEW ARCHITECTURE FOR 2.5.3] support for NCR voyager
Date
From
This is essentially the same as the 2.5.2 patch except that it adds support 
for the new migration cross processor interrupt.

As far as the new scheduler goes, the process affinity properties are much
better for the voyager, which is configured to have a fairly huge L3 cache
shared by several CPUs. (My current voyager has 2 CPU cards with 4 pentium
CPUs each and 32Mb of L3 cache on each card).

The patch (157k) is available here

http://www.hansenpartnership.com/voyager/files/voyager-2.5.3.diff

If there's any interest from the other architecture groups, I can also put
together the incremental diff between 2.5.2 and 2.5.3 which shows what changes
needed to be made in the arch specific boot sequence and smp code for the new
scheduler.
