+/* 78 bit power virtual address */ struct virt_addr { - unsigned long addr; + unsigned long vsid; + unsigned long seg_off; };Do we really need to do that ? It's really nasty... We are trying to add only a few bits, we get 12 for free by just using a page number (4k based always, not PAGE_SHIFT based btw) no ? That should get us going for a while....
Ok, will update to vpn in the next iteration. Thanks -aneesh
