From 0f397f865076e3471ec884ee73ad5e34165fac2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2006 10:59:59 -0700 Subject: PCI: enable driver multi-threaded probe This provides a build and run-time option to turn on multhreaded probe for all PCI drivers. It can cause bad problems on multi-processor machines that take a while to find their root disks, and play havoc on machines that don't use persistant device names for block or network devices. But it can cause speedups on some machines, my tiny laptop's boot goes up by 0.4 seconds, and my desktop boots up several seconds faster. Use at your own risk!!!
