> why would specifically not support a _feature_ of the hardware. Sparc64 chips support a hash table like hw assist feature for TLB reloading, I didn't use it for 8+ years and went with a virtual page table approach instead. I mean, your statement is totally meaningless. Just because the hardware can do something, doesn't mean we have any reason to use that functionality. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
