However, there's been ongoing discussions with Mark Tinguely, raj@ and others about how to handle the MMU differences between <= v5 and >= v6, and I think the consensus was we should create a new pmap_v6.c file, maybe using kobj as is done in the ppc port. Maybe now is a good time to do so :) Regards, Olivier
