(not yet in rpxlite.c, where i want it, but it certainly seems straightforward to add it, i'll try that shortly.) however, in the current 2.6 kernel bk pull from ppc.bkbits.net, none of those maps files support that feature yet. the kernel itself clearly lets you select that feature, but none of the drivers yet take advantage of it, if i read it correctly. so how is this being added to the files? as in, who will add this feature to the individual files, and get it pushed upstream, if that's what's going to happen? just curious as to how this feature will eventually end up in the mainstream. rday ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
