:> 
:> Hi,
:>          Forgive the naive question, but is this an easy issue to solve ? 
:> Or is it just scratching the surface of a larger more complex problem not 
:> easily resolved by a simple patch or two ?
:
:I'm enclosed a patch that introduces PADDR2/PMAP2 which is to be used
:by pmap_pte() (should not be called from interrupts on noncurrent
:pmaps) while pmap_pte_quick() (should not be called without splvm()
:protection) will use PADDR1/PMAP1.
:
:The patch also backs out revision 1.250.2.20 of
:src/sys/i386/i386/pmap.c.

    Tor, this looks like it could have been an issue even before the PAE
    patch went in.  What are your thoughts on the matter?
