then I'm the only one and I could have been biased because rmap.c is including 99% of code for the pte based rmap, and my objrmap.c is including 99% of code for the objrect based _reverse_mappings_, still objrmap.c is a more appropriate name for that stuff IMO (especially if somebody else is mistaken as I am using the word rmap to mean the current 2.6 code in mm/rmap.c). - 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/
