Not all x86 CPUs are Intel. :) Also, what of the Intel CPUs like the Xeon Phi or the Atom cores? I have an IvyBridge (>= Sandybridge) mobile CPU in this laptop which does not support 1G pages. I would axe the i386-specific reference and just say something generic like: For example, x86 CPUs normally support 4K and 2M (1G sometimes). -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
