Hi,

I commited your latest patches for Alpha.

For the mmap problem, I will integrate something like mmap4k, but I need
to make some patches in it so that the 'pagemap' stuff can be used in
the CPU emulator to handle self-modifying code and explicit translation
cache invalidation.

BTW, it was mentionned that variable host page size support was
necessary. Would a configure time probe be OK or should it be
dynamically probed ?

Fabrice.
