Subject: [PATCH 8 of 8] x86/cpa: use an undefined PTE bit for testing CPA
Date: Tue, 01 Jul 2008 16:46:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <abddb8b25c08f0d28b8c.1214955997@localhost> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <patchbomb.1214955989@localhost>

Rather than using _PAGE_GLOBAL - which not all CPUs support - to test
CPA, use one of the reserved-for-software-use PTE flags instead.  This
allows CPA testing to work on CPUs which don't support PGD.
