It's possible to get the additional space from within or > after return from pmap_bootstrap() (like thread0's kstack, or the msgbuf). http://people.freebsd.org/~jeff/dpcpu.diff I have updated this patch based on feedback relating to various architectures md code. I tried to model most architectures after the way msgbuf memory was taken. I have no capacity to test anything other than i386 and amd64. ARM is reported to work with one minor diff. Apparently sparc64 worked with the earlier diff but this should be cleaner. If anyone can report back on sparc64, mips, or powerpc, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Jeff > > later, > > Peter. >
