It would be robably possible to extend the 32bit protocol to some way to error out in such a case. On the other hand I'm not sure it's really worth the considerable work to implement and debug such an addition. > >>variant of make_pte now though. > > > >The 32bit cast still feels unclean.

That's not 32bit either. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
