Hi,

Can I use floating point operations inside the FreeBSD kernel version
4.7-stable? It used to be a policy not to use it for obvious performance
probelms.

Are there any known work arounds?
Like some standard efficient techniques to convert floating point
operations to fixed point operations without losing too much precision.

Thanks,
-Parveen.
