Hi there,

I've had some mails about whether Linux could be made
to swap pagetables.
I think this might be a Good Thing to do, but I keep
asking myself what the MMUs from the different architectures
would do when looking up a pagetable would cause a fault...

Anyone have a clue?

Rik.

also, COW-ing pagetables seems to be worthwhile as well?

If you do this you must turn it off on some B step pentiums. Yep its
