Subject:  [PATCH 2.5.26] i386 arch subdivision into machine types
Date:  Wed, 17 Jul 2002 16:23:43 -0500
Cc:  James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com

This code rearranges the arch/i386 directory structure to allow for sliding 
additional non-pc hardware in here in an easily separable (and thus easily 
maintainable) fashion.  The idea is that all the code for the particular 
problem hardware should be able to go in a separate directory with only 
additional build options in config.in.

This patch finally gets rid of the last five visws specific pieces from 
smpboot.c (at the expense of a smpboot_hook.h header)

it's available at (109k):

There's also a bitkeeper repository with all this in at
