A little more speed up measured on e5500. Setting of U0-3 is dropped as it is not used by Linux as far as I can see.Please keep them for now. If your core doesn't have them, make them an MMU feature.We have them, it was just an attempt to clean out unused things to speed up the miss handler. I'll drop that part if you think we'll use it in the future.
I never know for sure ... damn research people ... :-) I'd rather keep them for now, does it make a significant difference ? Cheers, Ben.
