I don't want the boot code 'littered' with calls to this, though. It'd be nice if the timer handler could take care of this until the user app could take it over. If the time between time_init() and the sti() is too great in start_kernel() that may not be possible. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
