SubjectRe: 1GB/2GB/3GB User Space Splitting Patch 2.6.8.1 (PSEUDO SPAM)

jmerkey> ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/jmerkey/patches/linux-2.6.8.1-highmem-split-08-25-04.patch

This is indeed pretty useful. A few comments on your version of the patch:

- might as well post a patch this small inline
- In Kconfig, what happens if someone turns on highmem? It seems all
the USER_XXX choices depend on NOHIGHMEM. also, the config option
probably needs at least some help text.
- the change to vmlinux.ld.S can be dropped from future versions
(Linus merged this post-2.6.8)
- why create PAGE_OFFSET_RAW in asm-generic, when it depends on
i386-only config symbols and is only used in i386?
- what's the reason for the odd rewrite of free_one_pgd()? it looks
equivalent (and misindented)

Thanks,
Roland
