New x86-64 linux patchkit released
I backed out the NUMA node lookup optimizations that most likely caused the
trouble with the previous version. Bert, please test on your machine.
New is support for displaying the SLIT ACPI table in sysfs, partly
based on a patch by Jack Steiner. Also another CMP bug has been
fixed. And it should work properly now on Nvidia NForce4. And
some other minor fixes are included too.
Please test and report any problems. I plan to submit these patches
to Andrew Morton for -mm* soon, so that they can be merged
into mainline after 2.6.10 is out of the door.
