OK, I've gone ahead and applied these; it gains me a new trivial conflict with x86, but so be it... That said, I think that the RST table formatting could be *way* improved. The current tables are all white space and hard to make sense of. What if we condensed the information? Just looking at the first entry in Documentation/admin-guide/features.html, perhaps it could look like: FEATURE KCONFIG/DESCRIPTION STATUS cBPF-JIT HAVE_CBPF_JIT TODO: alpha, arc, arm... ok: mips, powerpc, ... arch supports cBPF JIT optimizations The result would be far more compact and easy to read, IMO. I may get around to giving this a try if (hint :) nobody else gets there first. Thanks, jon
