Code Organization Question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Although function *kmap()* and *page_address()* both are related to
kernel permanent high memory mapping, the former is categoried into
architecture-dependent code whileas the latter is categoried into
architecture-independent code.

Why is such an code organization? Is it for any technical retionality,
or purely because of some historical code organization?
