tux3-2.6.8.1-A5 performance

[Yaoping Ruan]

Hi Ingo:

Thanks for the follow up. But when I apply the patch to 2.6.9-rc3 and the
follow error happens:

net/built-in.o(.text+0x6a728): In function `user_req_startup':
: undefined reference to `tux_module'
net/built-in.o(.text+0x6a8cd): In function `user_req_shutdown':
: undefined reference to `tux_module'
net/built-in.o(.text+0x6acfb): In function `user_req_start_thread':
: undefined reference to `tux_module'
net/built-in.o(.text+0x6b03e): In function `user_req_stop_thread':
: undefined reference to `tux_module'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1


This looks like the same error before you resume the 2.6.8 serie patches. So
I guess it is just compatibility issue. I look forward to testing the new
version.

Thanks
