The configuration option we had introduced changes the global PPC PAGE_SIZE definition indeed. To let changing the PAGE_SIZE from the configuration menu for the 44x processors only the following modification of the arch/ppc/Kconfig file might make sense: - int "Page size (12=>4KB; 16=>64KB)" + int "Page size (12=>4KB; 16=>64KB)" if 44x For other than 44x processors the PPC_PAGE_SHIFT value will be unchangeable from the configuration menu and set to default value 12 ( PAGE_SIZE = 4 KB).
Your patch would still let users select a page shift of 13 or 15, which won't work (and can't be made to work). Paul.
