Since we only deal with blocks of memory in IA64_GRANULE_SIZE pieces (16M or 64M) that would seem to be the natural skip amount. Oh, but that is probably still too slow. Jack said he has 180GB holes ... 180GB/16M = 11520 useless probes and TLB misses. We'd be better of to brute force seach the efi_memmap for the next address when we get a miss. -Tony - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
