Subjecttransmeta cpu code question
Hello!

What does this do:

printk(KERN_INFO "CPU: Processor revision %u.%u.%u.%u,
%u MHz\n",
(cpu_rev >> 24) & 0xff,
(cpu_rev >> 16) & 0xff,
(cpu_rev >> 8) & 0xff,
cpu_rev & 0xff,
cpu_freq);

(from arch/i386/kernel/cpu/transmeta.c)

Does not & 0xff make no sense? 0 & 1 makes 0, 1 & 1 makes 1,
no changes.

And I don't understand why we do this for 8bit and shifting the
cpu_rev...

Can someone enlighten me (with CC' as I am not subscribed) ?

Nico
