Besdies the initial booting of the kernel what is the
swapper_pg_dir used for? Is it free'd after the kernel is up and
running? Or is it allocated to a special process? If it is kept/used does
it contain any mappings in the user region (lower 3 gig) of the address
space?
Cheers Adam
Background (for those interested/curious why I'm asking stupid questions):
I'm playing with some idea's of speeding up process context switch
times. This involves using a single page directory as a kind of Software
TLB which is loaded from user process page directories. So the question is
can I use this swapper_pg_dir for this purpose.
