[PATCH] mspec driver
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Implement the special memory driver (mspec) based on the do_no_pfn
approach.  The driver is currently used only on SN2 hardware with special
fetchop support but could be beneficial on other architectures using the
uncached mode.
