Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/3] um: Remove highmem leftovers
Hi,
does that mean we can also drop the 3-level page table support on i386?
It seems like the two level page table is entirely sufficient on a
system without high memory (i.e. only 32bit physical addresses).
When I took a look at it for the 4-level page table support on 64 bit I
got a bit confused. But I had not realized that highmem support had
been removed.
