Rep:Re: [f-cpu] TLB right



F-cpu pointer size are determined and are fixed at 64 bits ! It's not in
a chunk and have nothing to do with it. Pointer use the bigger size
available for integer so 64 bits, what ever chunck could handle the
register bank.

i don't want to step into your high level discussions,
but ... F-CPU pointers are not 32 bits. F-CPU pointers
(in userland) fit in a "chunk" and it's defined as
"minimum 64 bits". Please avoid problems and don't do
like other architectures : F-CPU pointer sizes are not
determined.
