I see of the 36 bit patch in oss now, but not the whole thing. Is Ralf waiting for you to fix the problems in tlbex-mips32.S? Are those problems endian related or something else? I tested the pcmcia driver in BE mode, and that driver uses the 36 bit code, so I thought it's endian safe ... > > If you're submitting patches in oss, please take the latest work in > > sourceforge.net first to sync up the two.

Thanks for syncing up the oss tree! I was afraid that if you're sending independent patches some of the sourceforge work would get lost. Pete
