The patch had a fairly shaky start and it's been unclear to me that
everyone is happy with it and has tested it.

I guess ARM is the major architecture amongst that lot. Have Russell
and co had a decent look through this?

The problem here is that the ARM nommu people seem to have disappeared
shortly after getting their changes merged. I see no activity within the
kernel for ARM nommu since 2006.
heh, OK. Oskar touched it last, so he's now ARM nommu maintainer.
Well, I'ld need some test device for that purpose.
Someone around who can provide one?

seems a bit odd for a maintainer to not have any hardware ... at any
rate, dont you have an ARM system ? cant you just disable support for
the MMU ?

The nommu support for arm is not complete in mainline.
(And that is why CONFIG_MMU is not a settable option in arm yet).

Regards
Greg
