- Well, I'm looking in to it right now, and we'll see how it comes out...
-
- My way of doing it is to let the kernel allocate say, 3MB of buffer, then
- map the first 3 megabytes of TT-ram into this buffer. Then, the bus-error
- handler has to handle the swapping of the other memory.
-
- Now, I wonder if anybody can expain to me the existance of the MMAP swap
- in mem.c. The way I do it the alt memory map is actually the swap memory
- map. Is there another good way of doing this?
