It gains us about 0.4% on 'a well-known OLTP benchmark'. - I've addressed Dave/Roland's concerns about patch 3/4 being too big; it's now patches 5/7 and 6/7 of this series. - I've run checkpatch.pl over the file, and fixed all the warnings/errors it reported. - And I've updated it to 2.6.24-rc4. Patches also available from: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/willy/misc.git;a=shortlog;h=dmapool I'll send all seven as a followup to this mail. -- Intel are signing my paycheques ... these opinions are still mine "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours. We can't possibly take such a retrograde step."
