I am part of the tip team co-maintaining the x86, and in particular I am the direct interface to Intel on that team. This also means I work directly with the hardware and firmware architects on future developments (which has occupied a fair bit of my time lately) trying to steer them in the direction of being Linux-friendly; more recently we have gotten traction at adding features specifically for the benefit of Linux. I also have long since been acting as an informal bridge to the gcc, llvm and icc teams, and it has been suggested that I should make that bridge more formal. This would be a good thing to discuss at Kernel Summit, perhaps as part of David Howell's proposed Compiler Shopping List session. I am also trying to develop direct connections with the C standards committee. -hpa
