: New Revision: 204309
: URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/204309
: 
: Log:
:   Introduce the new kernel sub-tree x86 which should contain all the code
:   shared and generalized between our current amd64, i386 and pc98.
:   
:   This is just an initial step that should lead to a more complete effort.
:   For the moment, a very simple porting of cpufreq modules, BIOS calls and
:   the whole MD specific ISA bus part is added to the sub-tree but ideally
:   a lot of code might be added and more shared support should grow.

Cool!

Is this really wise?  Are these changes KPI neutral?
