Yeah so I saw BookE and e500 stuff go past but nothing specific for

Huh? I have one mail from you, on Sep 1, to which I responded on Sep
2. Was there another mail I missed, or did you not see my response?
Freescale's mail server is unreliable, and since I'm not in the habit of
ignoring emails, feel free to nag me anytime if you send me something
and don't get a response.
Between Freescale's mail server and the trouble we're having
with Google right now (along with thousands of others), I am
NOT surprised it got lost somewhere along the way.
I wasn't bitching :)
Just so it has been asked, do you know in a broad sense what it would
take to add the non-contiguous memory mapping support? Doesn't ppc64
already have this?
PPC64 has SPARSEMEM support, IIRC. It's non-trivial to add for 32-bit,
although I haven't scoped it out in any detail.
Okay, non-trivial was pretty much what I was looking for, I
was just trying to weigh up how much effort is required..
If you actually scope it out in any detail or someone has some
10% time and decides this would be an awesome project, give me
a nudge? My MPC8641D is itching to actually do something
besides build packages. Actually having 8GB of memory would
REALLY help run SUSE Build Service :]
