In my view the patch needs two things: 1) Some thought around the design. I am still hoping there is a less invasive way of accommodating the functionality, possibly with some changes to the existing functions of the cache. 2) A way to test it. This should preferably include both synthetic and real use-cases. The memtester and memchecker may be a good starting point for the synthetic part. It would be great if someone could dig into these issues. - Andreas ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
