Not having any > register dump also increase the entropy :-) It wasn't really changed, the whole lump of arch/mips/mm/ was just restructured in a way that allows adding of new CPU types and - even more important - get the code maintainable again. As it is right now we had a bunch of almost identical copies of the TLB flushing code, some even buggy. Now way I'd continue to deal with that. So now let's fix the breakage asap. As there were no functional changes any bugs are of rather trivial nature. Ralf
