Is anybody using 32-bit MIPS CPUs which have more than 512mb of memory or to be more exact have RAM that isn't accessible via the KSEG0 / KSEG1 window? So far I haven't ever seen such a machine. For 64-bit CPUs the right thing to do is easy - use a 64-bit kernel. But for 32-bit CPUs the Intel highmem stuff in the memory managment now gives us a sane way to use the memory of such configuration with just a little bit of extra code. So if anybody wants support for such a configuration, please drop me a note. Thanks, Ralf |
