What is the difference between Montavista Kernel Source andKernel.Org Source

[Ming Liu]

Hi all,

>I want to know, what is the difference between the linux kernel source, 
that we download from source.mvista.com ( using git ) and the original 
kernel source code that we download from kernel.org?

In fact, I have a same question. I also want to know what's the most 
obvious difference between Mvista and the common kernel. In detail, is 
there any different mechanism for Montavista to make sure a better 
performance, like Ethernet? In my project, it generates a different 
ethernet performance for my general kernel from Montavista 4.01. I want to 
make sure if Montavista have something special to guarantee a higher 
performance.

Another question. Because Montavista kernel is also based on the open 
source linux kernel from the general tree, does this mean that the 
Montavista one is also open source and could be free to be distributed 
according to GPL. However as far as I know, that's not true. :)

Ming
