This is not merely performance improvement, but a bugfix - the routine is not able to translate 1G mappings without the change. The thing with 1G pages is that they are not available on all platforms (AFAIK only AMD has them). Anyway, it should be two patches, in fact. Please stay tuned. Petr Tesarik SUSE Linux
