And now you've just broken every non-blackfin nommu platform, as you've
only defined MAP_SPLIT_PAGES in asm-blackfin/mman.h.

+#ifdef CONFIG_NP2
+	    || len < total_len
+#endif
And what is this? It only shows up in the blackfin defconfig. This is not
the place to be putting board-specific hacks.

Yes, it is our own NP2 memory allocator option. I think Bernd will fix
it.

Theres no reason you can't add the MAP_SPLIT_PAGES define in
all the necessary places too.

I'm assuming that since no one had any large objections, that this is OK, and we should send to Andrew to live in -mm for awhile?

No real objections to the approach, but it would be nice if these sorts
of things were test compiled for at least one platform that isn't yours,
so the obviously broken stuff is fixed before it's posted and someone
else has to find out about it later.

Exactly, Could please do some simple test on your SH-NOMMU platform? And
we are waiting for some feedback from other nommu arch maintainers.

David and Grep could you please help on this? Maybe Robin got some m68k
nommu by hand which can be used for testing, I only have Blackfin, -:))

I have compiled the patch on m68knommu (after adding a MAP_SPLIT_PAGES
define). And it seems to work ok with simple testing.

I don't have a problem with the change, though please do add that
MAP_SPLIT_PAGES define in the appropriate mman.h includes. And like Paul
said there is no place for CONFIG_NP2 in it currently. Please take
that out.

Regards
Greg
