  To: Linus Torvalds; +Cc: Linux Kernel Mailing List


Linus,
 patch below brings .14pre in sync with -ac, and adds..

- 'cachesize' bootflag to work around buggy P3 Tualatins.
- Some functions made static
- Unifies machine check architecture setup.

no reported problems since they went into -ac.

regards,

Dave.
