However, without more details, it is pretty hard to find out what you have tested. What sort of guest have you booted, with what configuration, what workloads did you run in the L2 guests and what are the architectural features that TX3 implements? The last point is specially important, as the NV architecture spans two major revisions of the architecture and affects tons of other extensions that are themselves optional. Without any detail on that front, I have no idea what the coverage of your testing is. Thanks, M. -- Jazz is not dead. It just smells funny... _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
