So I'm a bit torn. > What do you think? There are arhcitectures that don't use asm-generic/pgalloc.h but rather have their own, sometimes completely different, versoins of these funcitons. I've tried adding linux/pgalloc.h, but I've ended up with contradicting need to include asm/pgalloc.h before the generic code for some architecures or after the generic code for others :) I think let's leave it in mm.h for now, maybe after several more cleaups we could do better. -- Sincerely yours, Mike.
