Because it makes it easier to write other code? We don't really
want any unnecessary limiting assumptions in arch/i386 just because
of some obscure machine with one user.

Really?  I don't see it that way.  I did a lot of work back in 2000/2001
to break x86 of its remapped CPU assumptions ... it's been operating
nicely for 6 years, I don't see a reason to break it now.

I agree with James, it's just that I can't test it.  I'll send you my
patch set when I'm done, please test...

Thanks!
Rusty.
