Hi Tony

I assume you're maintaining the dyn tick patches for i386 posted on the muru 
website as your email is listed there. I thought you might be interested in 
this patch for dyn-ticks which removes most of the #ifdefs out of common code 
paths as per linux kernel style and moves more code into dyn-tick.c. Most of 
it is straight forward code reorganisation, but to keep do_timer_interrupt 
inlined I'd have to move it's code around somewhat. That may be a better 
option but I've tried to fiddle with the mainline code as little as possible.

Patch applies to 2.6.12 with patch-dynamic-tick-2.6.12-rc6-050610-1 applied

cc'ed lkml just for public record of the patch.

Cheers,
Con
