Hi !

The patchwork link unfortunately didn't survive the transition to
patchwork 2.

Do you know what's the status of Hugetlb support for 44x ? Is there any
plan to release that for upstream inclusion ?

Cheers,
Ben.



 
whoops, sorry for top-posting. Here is a patch that worked at that time:
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/zeptoos/hugepages/hugetlbpage_44x.patch

I didn't follow up after this to get it merged upstream. Also I don't know if hugetlb core has changed to deal with PTEs in high memory.
