Hi, Following from this message are patches to enable the Long Format VHPT on IA64, which I am posting in the hope of community review. They are against 2.6.17-rc3, and work for machines I have access to. These patches have long been a chicken-egg problem, but I believe that there are now multiple people interested in using LVHPT for dynamic page size support in some form. There are two papers which reference this work Itanium Page Tables and TLB Matthew Chapman, Ian Wienand, Gernot Heiser http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/chapman03itanium.html Itanium - A System Implementor's Tale Charles Gray, Matthew Chapman, Peter Chubb, David Mosberger-Tang, Gernot Heiser http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix05/tech/general/gray/gray_html/index.html Any comments are welcomed. -i - : 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
