Feedback welcome. I think we still need to keep the event generation around, at least for hardware bugs we don't know about. I don't think user-space rely on it though, people tend to come up with weird delays like isb ;). But yes, the WFET should be handy when it turns up in hardware. -- Catalin _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
