Subject: [PATCH] 3DNOW optimization fix
Date: Sun, 26 Aug 2001 01:40:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3B883767.2040004@fugmann.dhs.org> (raw)

As noted by Andreas Franck, the assembler instruction for
write prefetch is mistakenly a read prefetch. Below is for
linux-2.4.8-ac11 that corrects the error.

Regards
Anders Fugmann
