Date: Sun, 12 Jul 1998 11:46:35 +0200 From: Stefan Eggers Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi! While reading the VM source I was wondering about how flexible it shall be with regard to the page sizes used. Is the goal just to support 4k pages and if that works it is good enough or shall it be more flexible if one wishes to use smaller or larger pages? The actual mapping in pmap.c of course has to cope with hardware restrictions. My questions is just concerned with the machine independent part.
