I'd prefer this was done a little more sensitively to those CPUs where loads/stores are expensive, namely:

those two loads/stores get omitted from the thread switching if the CPU doesn't support it. Do you think that's something you could do? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
