Sure, no problem. They get defined to pmd_set/pgd_set calls anyways. But wouldn't that miss pgd_clear() and pmd_clear()? Someone may find it worthwhile to, on a *_clear(), to see if a set bit can now be clear because all the neighboring entries are empty as well. That might have been the reason I put it there, but I may be giving myself too much credit :-) - 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/
