6 monthes or so ago Alex Williamson ran some perf tests comparing a
CONSTANT vs global when tuning the IOMMU page size on IA64 ZX1 chipsets.
IIRC, using a global was 3-5% slower if it was the same value as the constant.
I don't know if parisc will offer a similar performance difference and if so,
a per arch (PA11 vs PA20) should work fine for everything but PA8800.
It may not be a problem, just something to consider.
The rest looks "correct" to me - ie I don't see any obviously wrong.
thanks,
grant
