We're getting very close to a 2.6.18 release and 64kB pages are still quite experimental, so I'm putting all the 64kB pagesize related fixes into the queue branch. 16kB by now has a few users, so I give it higher priority. I've been promised hugetlbfs since quite a while but that somehow never materialized. Or maybe that's just because the runtime generated TLB exception handlers killed the patches ;-) Ralf
