Is this really a "when"? Hugh and wli were both working on this and IIRC neither could show enough justification to get people interested in it and get it merged (maybe apart from helping stupidly sized PAE systems limp along) And that was even before page size reductions and objrmap came along, which makes the potential gain even smaller. Are there still good reasons to have such a thing? Nick -- SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.
