It seems that there is some confusion over what we should be supporting memory model wise for PPC32 under powerpc architecture. The current Kconfig limits you to only SPARSEMEM which isn't parameterised for PPC32 at all. Are we expecting to be able to support PPC32 as yet in this architecture? If so it seems we have a couple of issues with the Kconfig. Attached is a patch to enable FLATMEM and disable SPARSEMEM for PPC32 which seems to be the working combinations. It may well not be what is intended. But I offer it to start discussions. Comments. -apw
