There's no code change compared to the previous v18 submission (the only change is the correction in the comment in the mm_take_all_locks patch rightfully pointed out by Linus). Full patchset including other XPMEM support patches can be found here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/patches/v2.6/2.6.26-rc7/mmu-notifier-v18 Only the three patches of the patchset I'm submitting here by email are ready for merging, the rest you can find in the website is not ready for merging yet for various performance degradations, lots of the XPMEM patches needs to be elaborated to avoid any slowdown for the non-XPMEM case, but I keep maintaining them to make life easier to XPMEM current development and later we can keep work on them to make them suitable for inclusion to avoid any performance degradation risk. (the fourth patch in the series of the above url, is not strictly relealted to mmu notifiers but it's good at least for me to keep it in the same tree to test pci-passthrough capable guest running on reserved-ram at the same time of two regular guests swapping heavily with mmu notifiers which tends to exercises both spte models at the same time, if you find this confusing I'll remove it from any later upload, but xpmem users can totally ignore it, it only touches x86-64 code) Thanks a lot.
