There is a whole range of syscalls missing for ia64 that I basically > interpolated from elsewhere. I've been thinking of dropping CONFIG_IA32_SUPPORT completely from ia64. I've heard no complaints that new syscalls are not being added to the ia32 compat side ... which is an indication that people are not actively using this. Some OSDs have been building with this turned off for a while now (perhaps in preparation for "Montecito" which no longer has h/w support for the x86 instruction set, or perhaps because it represnts a huge block of lightly/barely tested code that will have its share of support issues). I suppose I should do this by adding an entry to Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt Any thoughts on the timeline for this? Is Dec 31, 2006 too soon? (or not soon enough!?). -Tony -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org. For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
