I thought about this as well. I came to the conclusion that I need to =20 have a look at the FreeBSD mmap code and to see if we have different =20 code on ia64, sparc64 and ppc than on ia32/amd64. If we have different =20 code there, it makes sense to have the linux_mmap MD. But this assumes =20 we will get linuxulator stuff for another architecture where different =20 MD code is needed. We could say that we should keep it MI until real =20 MD code is needed... > and there are tons of similar code.. for example linux_pause. how is this = MD? > I'd vote for moving that code.. > > opinions? You could make a table in the wiki which lists those parts which are =20 MD currently but can be made MI. It would allow more people to look at =20 the code in question and comment the proposal.
