Well, let's see if it works right first. 8) I hear from Intel that they plan to release a new code revision today, so I will be updating when they do.

I guess that depends on how they decide to thread their kernel. Right now, the code can be built entirely unthreaded and that might be their best option. At some point, they'll have to bite the bullet and implement some synchronisation primitives of their own. If they have any common sense, they'll use the BSD/OS model as we have (or some variant on it). -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also.
