From a973e9dd1e140a65bed694a2c5c8d53e9cba1a23 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2008 13:40:44 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "unique end pointer" patch This only made sense for the alternate fastpath which was reverted last week. Mathieu is working on a new version that addresses the fastpath issues but that new code first needs to go through mm and it is not clear if we need the unique end pointers with his new scheme.
