I don't think this should be (purely) an arch thing. It's just as much a driver issue. For example, HPET will pretty much work the same on x86 and ia64, so being able to have a shared "driver" would be useful. I agree though that it would be nice if arches that don't care for time-interpolation at all could turn it off completely. In the proposal below, an architecture could achieve that by turning off CONFIG_TIME_INTERPOLATION.
That's not the issue, if I have only ONE way to do this on my platform, I can INLINE this thing and I DO NOT need function pointers.
I should have that option. - 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/
