I naively thought that fixing the problem for Wily HWE ke= rnel would automatically mean that Xenial would come out with the fix. = If this slow operation affects you, and you'd like it fixed, please vis= it the launchpad bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+b= ug/1574602 and indicate that it affects you and its importance. That was the "right" thing to do. Or at least justified and discussed. If we want vm86(), we need to re-implement it properly. I have a word from top linux devs (including Linus himself) that properly implemented vm86() will stay enabled. Or the one can use kvm, which can already be enabled in dosemu config. Currently there are no resources for either re-implementing vm86() or fixing kvm support to the state when it can be enabled by default. But feel free to contribute. :) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" = in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
