It _is_ too big. However, I think doing 24 different architectures separately would probably be a major pain, and never get done. It would also have to create some temporary Kconfig names (or give up the names it uses now, which duplicate some arch code). How about this: I'll split it up, one patch for each of the difficult architectures: parisc, mips, sparc64, ia64, one patch for the 4k-only page architectures, and we'll look at what's left? -- Dave -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
