On the other hand, these extensions tend to get made to the top, and it's confusing if, in a 2-level system, only pd3 and pd4 are used.
Perhaps a little-endian scheme (pd1 = pte, pt2=pmd, pd4=pgd) would be better after all. - 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/
