Does it make more sense to call this "ppc64/power5+rev3"?This is a change to support new counter setup for oprofile. It may be the same if there is a revision 4 or 5 etc. So since the internal name was ++ I followed that convention.
There is an oprofile change already made, or in-flight, or at least submitted, that will be looking for the "power5++" string, so if the string changes here, it'll need to be changed there too. ( http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.oprofile/4670 )
I'm not too fussed, but if rev 4 comes out, the counters change and we need power5+++, it's gonna look pretty silly :-)
silly, but would be funny to see. :-)
