Punishing? thats why you have the option to compile the kernel as CONFIG_IA64_HP_ZX1 or CONFIG_IA64_DIG. The point of the generic kernel is that it will boot on all boxes, thats why this feature is only enabled for generic kernels or sn2 specific. Second, the 'cost' of this is a test and a branch and even on sn2 it just flips a bit. Hardly comparable to the cost of loading the address into the device.

I'll check what the status is, if it prevents current kernels from building I'll of course take it out for now. Jes
