Subject: CALL for testing on AMD

  Hi, all. I'm asking for people with AMD CPUs to please try my latest
MSR patch. I've laid the foundation for AMD support in the MTRR driver
(in preparation for merging a patch from Alan Cox), and I'd like to
get some testing done before I proceed.

So if you have an AMD CPU, please apply the patch and send me the
contents of /proc/cpuinfo with and without the patch. Note that the
patch doesn't add MTRR support yet: it just does some groundwork.

The patch is available at:
http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/kernel-patches.html

and is against 2.2.2+devfs. If you have a non-devfs kernel, that's OK
too, you'll just get a few failed hunks in the credits and
ChangeLog. It doesn't actually break any code. So applyling the patch
against plain 2.2.2 will be fine.

BTW: make sure you set CONFIG_MTRR=y.

Also make sure you set CONFIG_MSR=n and CONFIG_PERFMON=n if you
patched against 2.2.2 only (i.e. no devfs).

				Regards,

					Richard....
