hi,

  I've got some qeustion about ppc(ppc44x) paging: 

how can I manually map a virtual address to a physical address through a 
specific pgd? How does ppc translate virt address to physical one? I think 
besides from tlb, the CPU will search the page table entries via the pgd, can 
I alter the pgd value to change the memory translation? under i386, it's very 
simple, we can just rewrite %%cr3, it even could invalidate all tlb entries 
automatically, how can I do this under ppc? I've tried rewrite 
current->mm->pgd and current->thread.pgdir, but sounds like it still not 
insufficiant, am I missing something vital? 

What the heck are you trying to do ? Please explain and I'll tell you
how to do it properly :-)

Cheers,
Ben.
