I think at current state, it's way too early to extract out the common code into macros, because for long format vhpt, the low level handler is not even optimal. And in the final form, it may not be the same as the short format vhpt (OK, the linux page table walk will be the same, but other part maybe not). I would like to experiment with a few algorithms for lvhpt and best thing to do in my opinion is to have parallel ivt.S (or ivt table to be precise). - Ken - : 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
