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...

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.

Bye,
Alexander.
