| 2008-10-14 | powerpc: Get USE_STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS working again | David Gibson | |
| The typesafe version of the powerpc pagetable handling (with USE_STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS defined) has bitrotted again. This patch makes a bunch of small fixes to get it back to building status. It's still not enabled by default as gcc still generates worse code with it for some reason.

| 2008-07-30 | powerpc/mm: Lockless get_user_pages_fast() for 64-bit (v3) | Nick Piggin | |
| Implement lockless get_user_pages_fast for 64-bit powerpc. Page table existence is guaranteed with RCU, and speculative page references are used to take a reference to the pages without having a prior existence guarantee on them.
