This is really cool. Thanks, Thomas. Just one question - why is > it i386 only? Why can't it be MI? Some of the modified code (i386/i386/mem.c and i386/i386/sys_machdep.c) is architecture specific. The sysctl parsing and list keeping code is largely separated, and it should no be too difficult to add the necessary bits to the alpha mem.c. I am working on this, but I have no means to test the changes. For any newly added architecture (eg. arm?), handlers for it's specific io access method will have to be added (if they need aperture). - thomas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
