Hi list I have some questions I don't know if this is correct list for
my questions.
I look at new freebsd 6 features and found that they implement
something  like

1)
ibm_acpi. Acpi functions for Ibm notebooks.
can we port it to our ACPI code or not ??

2)
"Fine-grained locking to allow much of the VFS stack to run without the
Giant lock has been added."
Sometime ago i have seen some benchmarks with
Linux & freebsd and Netbsd had very poor performance with SMP machine.
Our SMP performance was worst than on single processor machine.

3)
We still use Giant Lock ??

4)
I am only kernel beginner but if I can I want help NetBSD.
  For start I probably need some pretty easy work to learn very much
  about NetBSD kernel internals.Is here something like this or not??

Cheers Adam
