Will Cyrix patches go into kernel? If not, why?
I've been using them for ages, in kernel 2.0 and 2.1, they never broke anything
(except for first versions of the patch that rebooted while rebooting if I
enabled VSPM, now works perfectly) and they speed up some programs, most notably
the rc5 client.
