That isn't helpful. But if you feel like that I suggest you run with your memory management protection disabled, it's really on there to deal with crap code and its giving the wrong incentives. Come to think of it you might want to remove your seatbelts and any safety catches or airbags - it only encourages carelessness. The reality is you need a sane, generic, race free way to express your requirements (eg for hard RT) and ditto for constraining the expression (for 'crapplications') Arguing that you don't need to do this isn't useful. Android has demonstrated a need to do this. RT has a need to do some of this. Virtualisation wants elements of this etc. The question is how you do it right. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
