Patch Status Author Reviewers
Page layout footprint(WIP) WIP Zdeněk Kotala

Heikki Linnakangas

Heikki says: I believe I debunked this patch enough already. Apparently there's some compatibility issue between 32-bit and 64-bit Sparcs, but this patch didn't catch that. It doesn't seem like this provides any extra safeness or better error messages. If I'm missing something, please provide more details on what scenario we currently have a problem, and how this helps with it.
