Whether they're a user that is doing a scientific application that needs more than 3GB, or a large PAE machine that needs more ZONE_NORMAL, lots of people are applying patches to change PAGE_OFFSET. This patch lets you do it in a config option. It is a port from Andrea's 2.4 tree, and I believe that Ingo is the original author. Andrea's patch didn't have a Config.help entry for this option, so I wrote one. I may not have all of the necessary context to explain it, so any comments there would be appreciated. -- Dave Hansen haveblue@us.ibm.com
