Subject: perfctr-2.0-pre3 released

perfctr-2.0-pre3 is now available at the usual place:
http://www.csd.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/perfctr/.
This is a snapshot with a preliminary implementation of
the new API in place. The user-space stuff has not been
updated and will NOT work.

Version 2.0-pre3, 2001-04-17
- Preliminary implementation of the new data structures and API
  is in place. The user-space components have not yet been updated.
  Interrupt-mode virtual perfctrs have been disabled pending
  completion of necessary CPU driver support.
- Now uses "VIA_C3" as the family name for both the VIA C3 and
  the slightly older VIA Cyrix III processors. "VIA_CYRIX_III"
  was just too clumsy and confusing. (It's not a Cyrix at all.)
- Fixed etc/perfctr-events.tab to make Cyrix' event codes agree
  with reality rather than with the Cyrix manuals. The manuals
  ignore the fact that the 7-bit event codes are stored in two
  distinct bit fields in the CESR.
