[PATCH] ppc32: make usage of CONFIG_PTE_64BIT & CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT consistent

2005-04-07 Thread Kumar Gala
Andrew, CONFIG_PTE_64BIT & CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT are not currently consistently used in the code base. Fixed up the usage such that CONFIG_PTE_64BIT is used when we have a 64-bit PTE regardless of physical address width. CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT is used if the physical address width is larger than 32-b

[PATCH] ppc32: Allow adjust of pfn offset in pte

Andrew, Allow the pfn to be offset by more than just PAGE_SHIFT in the pte. Today, PAGE_SHIFT tends to allow us to have 12-bits of flags in the pte. In the future if we have a larger pte we can allocate more bits for flags by offsetting the pfn even further. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <[EMAIL
