Thanks,

I had a quick look at your serie, it looks promising.

The main purpose of mine is to allow the use of slies on the 8xx in 
order to fix a hugepage related bug.

Your serie is performance oriented and seems nice, indeed I should have 
noticed that it was passing huge structures instead of pointers to 
subfunctions. I will look at your serie more in details next week.

Christophe
