Ah I see, although we've apparently been doing that for over a decade already[2] :) [2] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e6473092bd9116583ce9ab8cf1b6570e1aa6fc83 >> [1] >> https://developer.arm.com/docs/100940/latest/translation-tables-in-armv8-a >> >> Probably the least confusing thing is to drop the level numbers in >> brackets since I don't believe they directly match any architecture, and >> hopefully any user of the page walking code is already familiar with the >> P?D terms used by the kernel. > > That's a fair assumption :) > Still, maybe we keep your (top-level) for PGD and use (lowest level) for > PTE and drop those in the middle? Yes that's a good compromise.
