preempt patches and such for amd64?
Are the preempt, low latency, and cpu affinity patches applicable to the amd-64 platform running in native 64 bit mode? I would also like to know the same about the O(1) scheduler patches. If not, will/does the 2.6 kernel implement these for amd-64?
Thank you

The CPU affinity system call, the preemptive kernel, and the O(1) scheduler are all available for x86-64 on 2.6.
I don't think any of the patches have been ported to 2.4, although the CPU affinity system call would be trivial to get working.
