Re: [PATCH 08/15] mips: switch to generic version of pte allocation

Hi Mike,

MIPS allocates kernel PTE pages with

	__get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO, PTE_ORDER)

and user PTE pages with

	alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO, PTE_ORDER)

That bit isn't quite true - we don't use __GFP_ZERO in pte_alloc_one() &
instead call clear_highpage() on the allocated page. Not that I have a
problem with using __GFP_ZERO - it seems like the more optimal choice.
It just might be worth mentioning the change & expected equivalent
behavior.

Otherwise:

Thanks,
