Subject: [POWERPC] 8xx: fix swap
Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2008 13:53:30 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080306135330.6d5462d2@vitb.ru.mvista.com> (raw)
This makes swap routines operate correctly on the ppc_8xx based machines.
Code has been revalidated on mpc885ads (8M sdram) with recent kernel. Based
on patch from Yuri Tikhonov <yur@emcraft.com> to do the same on arch/ppc
instance.
Recent kernel's size makes swap feature very important on low-memory platforms,
those are actually non-operable without it.
