Re: [PATCH/RFC] Shared page tables

[Robin Holt]

Dave,

This appears to work on ia64 with the attached patch.  Could you
send me any test application you think would be helpful for me
to verify it is operating correctly?  I could not get the PTSHARE_PUD
to compile.  I put _NO_ effort into it.  I found the following line
was invalid and quit trying.

> +	spged = pgd_val(0);

Thanks,
Robin Holt
