Ok, good. > I'm happy to test your patch serie with VMSPLIT_3G_OPT and see if it > still boots with it once you send it. The patches I did for turning off HIGHMEM on ARMv5 won't have any effect if you are already running without highmem, so I don't think we need to wait for your tests specifically. Any testing would be useful of course just to check that everything still works. Jason, I think we can go ahead with your suggestion. I can post my patches for review once I've done some testing on them. Arnd
