There is assembler code to write, which as I stated several times nobody is going to work on or test. It is unreasonable to add this new VMEMMAP requirement in order for your patches to work properly. > > The BSS usage is still there for platforms that don't use VMEMMAP. > > All MMU platforms can use the virtual mappings.

Someone has to implement and test VMEMMAP now on all of these architectures, it is becomming a requirement unlike in the sparsemem patches case where it was optional. That's unreasonable. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
