FYI, I plan to to implement RAID acceleration using nvdimms, and I plan to ue pages for that. The code just merge for 4.1 can easily support page backing, and I plan to use that for now. This still leaves support for the gigantic intel nvdimms discovered over EFI out, but given that I don't have access to them, and I dont know of any publically available there's little I can do for now. But adding on demand allocate struct pages for the seems like the easiest way forward. Boaz already has code to allocate pages for them, although not on demand but at boot / plug in time. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
