The simplest solution may be to move these arches to use SPARSE instead. AFAICT this was relatively easy for the arm guys. Here is short guide on how to do that from the mips people: http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2008-08/msg00154.html http://mytechkorner.blogspot.com/2010/12/sparsemem.html Dave Hansen, Mel: Can you provide us with some help?
