even this isnt strictly necessery - pgds and pmds are allocated in 'low memory', and thus a simple 32-bit write to the lower 32 bits of the pgd entry is enough to clear a PAE pgd. But it still must be a special case due to the pgd present-bit restriction. Ingo -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
