another question.....

From: Neil Horman <hidden>

hey again all!
	I also had a question regarding the swapper_pg_dir variable.  I understand that
it is used as a sort of private cache for kernel tasks (kswapd, klogd, etc).  I
was wondering, is that area used only for kernel threads, or for all threads
executing in kernel space? (I.E. user processes in a system call, etc)?  Many
thanks!
Neil

It's used to represent the kernel mapping.  The combination of the
kernel mapping and that of the current application memory context will
determine how memory is accessed.
