Hi,

Following from this message are patches to enable the Long Format VHPT
on IA64, which I am posting in the hope of community review.  They are
against 2.6.17-rc3, and work for machines I have access to.  These
patches have long been a chicken-egg problem, but I believe that there
are now multiple people interested in using LVHPT for dynamic page
size support in some form.

There are two papers which reference this work

Any comments are welcomed.
