The code is less readable? Now iam confused. Attached the link to patch
below to refresh your memory.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112293577309653&w=2
diffstat would show we have fewer lines ~40 less lines of code. physflat
basicaly copied/cloned some useful code in cluster and some from flat mode
genapic code.
I would have consolidated the code in the first place when you put the physflat
mode. Again this was just my habit, cant step over code bloat and duplication.
Which part of the code is unreadable to you? If you are happy with just renamed
functions with copied body of the code which is what physflat did, thats fine.
I was just puzzeled at the convoluted and less readable part of the code. If
there is something you like to point out, i would be happy to fix it.. or you
can if you prefer it that way.
