Subject: [PATCH][2.5.68] 16-byte align x86 IRQ entry points
Date: Sun, 20 Apr 2003 13:03:03 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200304201306_MC3-1-3537-116@compuserve.com> (raw)
How can I further test this patch? (It boots...)
It should be harmless; at worst it will add about 1K to an
SMP or IOAPIC kernel.
If it works it should reduce interrupt latency.
