We already have a clear interface for the underlying layer to be able to add such backend. again, it's not only for user-mode. mixing all the stuff in a single architecture may not only mislead to users, but also introduce conceptual-disagreements during code sharing of essential parts. I don't see any benefits to have a name 'um' with this idea. # I'm not saying sharing a part of code is bad idea at all, btw. -- Hajime -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
