Subject: [RFC] Consoldidate arch/{i386,x86_64}/boot
Date: Mon, 22 May 2006 20:04:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4471FD34.8050202@gmx.net> (raw)

Hi,

there are many differences between the files in
arch/{i386,x86_64}/boot, but it seems most (if not all) of them
have no effect on the generated code and are purely cosmetical.

I have a patch which increases similarity between these
subtrees, while still generating identical code. After that,
only very few differences remain in

compressed/misc.c
video.S
tools/build.c

and it should be possible to unify them and kill one copy of
each.

Would a series of incremental patches to consolidate these two
subtrees get accepted?

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
