I'm now working on integration of the Cyrix and AMD patches to DaveM's
CVS tree. They will be hopefully available in the next snapshot.
Surely, not all performance patches can be done in user space, because
they some of them require to be set during MM init or affect compilation
of I/O accesses.
Have a nice fortnight
