Therefore, this patch should not be necessary. Unless you can show me where in the UltraSPARC documentation it states that the uTLB is used for data accesses, I am not applying this patch :) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
