It would also be nice to convert ARM to using sparsemem rather than discontigmem, but despite having a patch adding the supporting common infrastructure for the last year and a half or so, no one in the ARM community is interested in it. Since I've no machines which use the present discontig support and have more than a single bank of memory, I've no way to test and progress sparsemem on ARM - and since no one's interested I'm probably going to drop the ARM sparsemem git branch soon. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
