BTW folks. Would it be hard to change your spe_ prefixes to 
something
else ? There's already enough confusion between the freescale SPE
unit
and the cell SPEs :-)
Will you change _your_ prefixes too?  :-) :-)
Which ones ? I'm not in charge of the fsl spe thingy nor the spe
scheduler code :-)
I meant the Cell code of course.
Did you ever take a look at the cell code?
Not often, no.  I'm perfectly happy that I don't have
to touch that.
The only place 'spe'
is used in a prefix are a handfull of hardware datatstructures and the
sony crap hypervisor hvcalls.  Everything else uses spu_ as a prefix.
That sounds nice.  There are slightly fewer things called
SPU than there are called SPE I imagine?  Or is it just a
historical misnomer.
But yeah, grep is hard and life is a bitch.. :)
If I'm told there are all these other things in the kernel
called spe_ I don't feel obliged to grep for it to check
if this is really so.  Maybe I shouldn't trust people that
much, dunno.
