There's a lot in there that could be shared across architectures. The only thing specific to ia64 is the foreach_region function with its callbacks. Even that could be minimized by MI helper functions. I expect the dumper to be way to verbose ATM. It's probably filling screens of page numbers as it writes. People might get the impression that it is dumping to screen :-) -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
