Maybe a stupid question from someone not knowledgeable of memory-stuff on Linux...

Since HPPA offers Block-TLBs (BTLBs), couldn't those be used comparable/wrapped as so-called HUGHTLBs (CONFIG_HUGETLBFS) as available on i386/ia64 ?

from /proc/cpuinfo on my 715/64:
BTLB fixed      : max. 16384 pages, pagesize=4096 (64MB)
BTLB fix-entr.  : 0 instruction, 0 data (8 combined)		<--- 8
BTLB var-entr.  : 0 instruction, 0 data (0 combined)
