@@ -728,13 +728,6 @@ However, the Xen heap is limited in size on
 32-bit Xen so tmem did not work very well.
 There are still 32-bit ifdefs in some places in the code, but things may
 have bit-rotted so using tmem on a 32-bit Xen is not recommended.
-<P>
-<b><i>IA-64 implementation. </i></b>
-The vast majority of the tmem
-implementation is architecture-independent.
-For tmem to run on Xen/ia64, it is believed that only one or two
-routines needs to be written.(See the
-#ifdef __ia64__ at <i>cli_mfn_to_va()</i>.)

Thanks. As you'll have seen from George's development updates we are now
well into code freeze and close to an rc0 for 4.4.

So every patch needs to come with some sort of justification for why it
should be accepted for 4.4 (or have an explicit note indicating that it
is 4.5 material).

In this case although removing code seems harmless enough it does risk
causing build failures, or in the case of the python stuff, runtime
exceptions. I don't think the benefits outweigh the risks for 4.4.
George?

We also have a policy these days of CCing the folks listed in
MAINTAINERS. You might find ./scripts/get_maintainers.pl useful.

BTW, George while I have you attention -- do you have a standard link
which I can direct people to regarding the freeze exception
considerations (the "#1 an awesome releases stuff") and the methodology
which I've seen you deploy in various threads. Or if not a standard link
a particular instance which is especially illustrative?

Ian.

Hmm, not yet -- I'll put it on the "roadmap" page.
