Dear Josh, in message [ref] you wrote:

The following patch adds support for 256KB PAGE_SIZE on ppc44x-based boards. The applications to be run on the kernel with 256KB PAGE_SIZE have to be built using the modified version of binutils, where the MAXPAGESIZE definition is set to 0x40000 (as opposite to standard 0x10000).

BTW, what tree did you base this on? I don't seem to have the PPC_PAGE_* options in my tree.
If you like to see the patches in context, you can find this stuff in the linux-2.6-denx repository at denx.de The 256K page size stuff is based on and requires as prerequisite the "ppc: Add support for bigger page sizes than 4KB on PPC44x" posted here on April 25, see http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc/patch?q=Add%20support%20for%20bigger%20page%20sizes&id=10646 Best regards, Wolfgang Denk -- DENX Software Engineering GmbH, MD: Wolfgang Denk & Detlev Zundel HRB 165235 Munich, Office: Kirchenstr.5, D-82194 Groebenzell, Germany Phone: (+49)-8142-66989-10 Fax: (+49)-8142-66989-80 Email: wd@denx.de Q: Why do PCs have a reset button on the front?
