If it works I would be inclined to replaced old sparsemem with Christoph's new one on x86-64. Perhaps that could cut down the bewildering sparsemem ifdef jungle that is there currently. But I presume it won't work on 32bit because of the limited address space? > But, without some cold, hard, data, we mere mortals without the 1024-way > machines can only guess. ;) Yep. -Andi (who would be scared of a 1024 way x86 machine) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
