code duplication in the x86 instruction emulation that could be consolidated.
It is Paulo's work.
Ah well there you go. My knowledge was outdated. Looks like the cutting edge of x86emu developement now is the linuxbios emu tree.
Did you also extend Paulo's work? He mentioned that there were other areas in the code where application of his work should reduce code size as well.
No. Except some modification on the #include path, there is no change at all.
If they haven't already submitted thier patches you might want to also check with Scitech soft on thier version of the in-kernel emu. Thier commercial "snap" drivers use the same stuff and I seem to remember him telling me they made some tweaks to make the newer Radeon cards and the like work right.
There was some discussion on consolidate all those different versions, but no action yet.
