PR 9725 and the m68k pmap

[Hauke Fath <hauke%Espresso.Rhein-Neckar.DE@localhost>]

All,

now that netbsd-5 is safely on its way, I would like to come back to PR
9725 <http://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=9725 >. As
mentioned a while back, the issue stands between the 68k family and
successful pkgsrc bulk builds.

During a discussion last August, Izumi Tsutsui mentioned that pmap would
have to be re-written, while Michael Hitch hinted at some work he'd done on
amiga to allow for larger user address space. Can you elaborate?

While I am still in the process of wrapping my mind around pmap concepts,
and won't be much help in drafting a fix, I can test on various mac68k
hardware.

Kind regards,

        hauke
