I thought about this as well. I came to the conclusion that I need to have a look at the FreeBSD mmap code and to see if we have different code on ia64, sparc64 and ppc than on ia32/amd64. If we have different code there, it makes sense to have the linux_mmap MD. But this assumes we will get linuxulator stuff for another architecture where different MD code is needed. We could say that we should keep it MI until real 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 MD currently but can be made MI. It would allow more people to look at the code in question and comment the proposal.
