Here's another feature I would like to see go in: MMU-less procesor support.
Latest patches for the memory management changes are at:
http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/uClinux-2.5.x/linux-2.5.44uc0-mm.patch.gz
The core of this stuff has been around for years (earliest in 2.0.33), with a _lot_ of users (easily > 50000). And specifically these patches have been tracking every 2.5 release pretty much since it started.
The other important peice with this is the FLAT format exe loader (binfmt_flat), patch at:
http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/uClinux-2.5.x/linux-2.5.44uc0-binflat.patch.gz
To make this truely useful though you also need some new archiecture support. Up to date patches for 2 of these are at:
http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/uClinux-2.5.x/linux-2.5.44uc0-m68knommu.patch.gz http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/uClinux-2.5.x/linux-2.5.44uc0-v850.patch.gz
These support the non-VM 68k processors (683XXX and ColdFire), and the NEC v850 family. [We have many more (ARM, SPARC, i960, etc) but they are not 2.5 ready yet].
Also some drivers to go along with this, but I won't bother listing them here. See my other emails on the list for those patches...
Regards Greg
