    Version 1.1 of my x86 performance-monitoring counters driver is
    now available at http://www.csd.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/perfctr/.

    Summary of changes since version 1.0:
    - Support for Linux kernels 2.2.14, 2.2.15 and 2.3.99-pre8.
    - Changes to the driver and user-space library to reduce the
      number of getpid() calls. (Suggested by Ulrich Drepper.)
    - Added support for the VIA Cyrix III processor.
    - Performance improvements in the x86 driver interface.
    - Some code cleanups.

    This is primarily a maintenance release. The next version will
    have API changes to support "multiplexing mode" (automatic
    switching between different event types).
