Hi folks,

this is a list of patches I collected while looking at the memory
management sources. Two patches might improve the performance of your
box. The others are more or less cosmetic. 

This mail is sent with a kernel using these patches.
Here is a list sorted with decreasing importance:

patch-uk2 	makes use of the pgd, pmd and pte quicklists for x86 too;
		risky: there might be a reason that 2.4.x doesn't use the
		quicklists.

patch-uk6	In 2.4.x _page_hashfn divides struct address_space pointer
		with a parameter derived from the size of struct
		inode. Deriving this parameter from the size of struct
		address_space makes more sense -- at least for me.

patch-uk5	cleans the bd_flush_param union.

patch-uk1	fixes a comment typo in asm-i386/highmem.h.

patch-uk3	fixes a comment typo in asm-i386/pgtable-3level.h.

Ciao,

Uli Kunitz
