The PA8800 and PA8900 have 128 byte memory interfaces. These numbers are reported by firmware PDC calls. This whole discussion started when I suggested that we needed to bump L1_CACHE_BYTES to 128 bytes on PA8800 and PA8900 processors. -- John David Anglin dave.anglin@...l.net -- 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/
