If we are not going to use separate VM mapping s to keep the per-cpu information separate any more, then can we remove the support for it from the kernel? examples: i386/i386/locore.s #ifdef SMP /* * Define layout of per-cpu address space. * This is "constructed" in locore.s on the BSP and in

If we want a surface scrubber, we ought to have a "real" one; it's also very, very bad in the laptop context (since it keeps waking your disks up). If we're going to keep it, it should be turned off by default at any rate. > diskcheckd is very annoying. Many doubt its usefulness in detecting >

As I was trying to let the Palm Pilot connect to my desktop through usb using PPP, I tried to run /usr/sbin/ppp -quiet -direct -nat < /dev/ugen0 While, perhaps, not the right way to do what I want (what is? aren't serial devices the simplest?), it should not panic (nothing should really)
