If you do create such a patch, please also state that HIGHMEM64G is necessary for support of the NX bit (on those processors that support it). ISTR that a similar issue exists in the NOHIGHMEM case, where some 150MB or so of RAM would be unusable in a 1GB machine with NOHIGHMEM. I could be mis-remembering, that, though. -- Joseph Fannin jfannin@...il.com || jhf@...umbus.rr.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
