I'd need about 7 of them, and that is on at least 3 architectures (i386, x86-64, ppc, not sure about ppc64/arm). And it does not fix the interface -- userland parts will still need to read/write /dev/kmem :-(.
Yep, I can do it... Pavel -- Thanks, Sharp! - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
