You asked "why". I gave a reference in the general class; Jake gave a specific reference for the upcall issues he think the code will face. I think you have enough justification for Jake's position to just accept it, and move on, leaving the hard stuff to Jake. If you really want to press a large structure size for some reason, I think the ball is in your court to prove why larger is better than smaller for x86; it's been proven that it's not, for SPARC, I think. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
