Hi all,
Thx for the pointer, but I have bad news. After going over the code I remembered why this was never added to the std. kernel a loong time ago when proposed. Many of the options made some older boards unstable. The issues are the same as when it was suggested to make the suspend_on_halt of the Cx686 default to on. IMHO, this will have to stay as a module or (preferably) a user space utility. Only workaround would be to generate a white-list of boards where the optimizations are safe, but these are old boards and hard to identify.
Cheers,
Rafael
