>trying to stay away from >having to add a new address space to the product
I have seen programs do the following: - Create/Schedule an IRB to run in ASID=1 under what one might call the "NIP task" (there is possibly no intended interface to determine this task; it happens to be the task that ran the RIMs during IPL). - Issue the cross-memory services definitions from the IRB (thus they persist for the life of the IPL). That avoids having an "extra" address space for no purpose other than persistance Any PC in such a scheme would be non-space-switch (it would not be appropriate to stash your data in ASID=1 thus there would be no reason to have a space-switch PC into ASID=1).
