Let's hope Andi stays in the team

Parent article: New maintainers for the x86 architecture

I've just checked the git repository for x86, and I see recent Andi's patches there. I really hope that he won't quit the kernel team, even if he is no longer the maintainer of the most popular architectures. Andi was instrumental for getting x86_64 architecture into its excellent shape, and should be commended for that.

I completely agree.

so which of the two branches, 386 or x86_64 were integrated into generic x86? I'm guessing the
x86_64 was integrated and the 386 stuff will remain separate.

Both of them has been integrated in x86 with a lot of *32.c,*32.S and *64.c,*64.S files.
