Subject: Re: port-mips/31915: provide centralized wired_map logic

 I've not looked at this yet.  Right now the current MI code uses a fixed 
 page size.  I can look at extending this so that it can take a page size 
 as an argument, though frankly I'm not too fond of that as it 
 complicates the logic to make it work properly.
 
 I need to think about it some more -- I'll get back to you.
