Re: Status of write barrier support for 2.4?

[Andre Hedrick <andre@linux-ide.org>]

Jens,

I just got crapped all over trying to get us "write barrier" opcodes :-/.
However I do have the start of a draft to submit soon.  I could not piggy
back of FUA by MicroSoft last week.

So how did the talk go at OLS for the IDE roadmap to destruction go?
I could not attend, as I was doing other stuff associated with the
industry.

Cheers,
