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.

AFAIK SPE is the preferred name, as the SPU is only a part of the SPE.
That's what I was told.
