  • A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar. This patch
    attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the
    combined version in mm/hugetlb.c. There are a couple of uglyish hacks in
    order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large
    reduction in the total amount of code. It also means things like hugepage
    lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six.

    Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64.

    Notes:
    - this patch changes the meaning of set_huge_pte() to be more
    analagous to set_pte()
    - does SH4 need s special huge_ptep_get_and_clear()??

  • There were still a few comments left refering to verify_area, and two
    functions, verify_area_skas & verify_area_tt that just wrap corresponding
    access_ok_skas & access_ok_tt functions, just like verify_area does for
    access_ok - deprecate those.

    There was also a few places that still used verify_area in commented-out
    code, fix those up to use access_ok.

    After applying this one there should not be anything left but finally
    removing verify_area completely, which will happen after a kernel release
    or two.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
