As your board itself is not in mainline this _is_ completely untested for mainline. > > It's a nice and appreciated RFC patch or even example implementation, > > but I fail to see arguments why we should add this to mainline. > > Well, you have to start somewhere and as this involves asm changes > in start.S it would be pretty dangerous add these without being able to > test. The idea is that once some version of this patch is in, interested > parties can apply the same concept on their boards too. Such testing can be done anywhere, in some test branch. I don't think mainline is the right place for such an intrusive and experiemental feature. > Finally, I would like to remind you about > [PATCH] PowerPC: Move -fPIC flag to common place I have not seen any test reports on this, so I hesitate to apply it (the move to a common place is no problem, of course, but I'm not sure about changing -fPIC into -fpic). I think I remember problems with this in the past; there have even been commits to "use '-fPIC' _instead_ of '-mrelocatable'" in the past. I don't remember the details, but I'd like to see some independent testing before this goes in. > [PATCH] PowerPC: Add support for -msingle-pic-base Same here. This hits a large number of boards, but I have seen zero test reports.
