I wanted to do some quick time measurements of some things on a driver
running of the 405GP and I eneded up using get_tbl(). It seems like
get_cycles....

Hmmm....these look like they should work exactly the same.....
It would help me if you could disassemble a little code snippet
around the place you use these so we could have a look.

They did. I just confused myself with too many kernel versions.
The 2.4.2 mvista kernel didn't have the same header file, but by
just sticking the newer header in there with the one other header
it pulls in along with it, it worked fine.

The __ftr_fixup doesn't seem to be used much in any of the other
arch's.

Cool.

It's a PowerPC thing that Ben recently added to make it easier
for us to manage the minor differences among the processor variations.
