Well the last time I tried to get this by Andi we became a bit concerned when we realized that the memory map would grow by 14% in size. Given that 4k page size challenged platforms have a huge amount of page structs that growth is significant. I think it would be fine to do it for IA64 with 16k page size but not for x86_64. - 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/
