Someone (aka Tospin, infinicon, and Amasso) should probably post a patch adding '#define VM_REGISTERD 0x01000000', and some extensions to something like 'madvise' to set pages to be registered. My preference is said patch will also allow a way for the kernel to reclaim registered memory from an application under memory pressure. - 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/
