Re: [PATCH] libata atapi work #5

If I may continue our explosive growth in off-topic digressions here ...

1)

Thank you I blogged those open source PCI chip links to:

Subject: PCI chip designs in open source, now available

2)

I personally reviewed IEEE pthreads in late draft, for example on my own
time I flew to the New Orleans working group.  I argued to specify
pthreads so that they could efficiently do cooperative fibers, not just
indeterminately preemptive SMP, but I left town before that project
ended.  My least irrelevant blog might be:

fibers in C across platforms, if abused without asm

3)

I haven't seen anyone in software outside of chip simulation support
massively parallel threading with reasonable efficiency.

My least irrelevant blog for that might be:

which mentions the recent gcc adoption of the "indirect goto extension"
as in Maurer'shttp://cs.ecs.baylor.edu/~maurer/Metamorphic/

High Performance".
