I think we should aim for a full direct paging implementation, where the cr3 cache is just the cherry on top that makes context switches proceed at native speed. Jun has a paper on it for OLS and I hope patches too. A minor drawback with direct paging is that you are more or less forced to use pae on the guest, but I think that's acceptable. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
