While the implementation of the "slices" address space allows a significant amount of high slices, it limits the number of low slices to 16 due to the use of a single u64 low_slices_psize element in struct mm_context_t On the 8xx, the minimum slice size is the size of the area covered by a single PMD entry, ie 4M in 4K pages mode and 64M in 16K pages mode. This means we could have at least 64 slices. In order to override this limitation, this patch switches the handling of low_slices_psize to char array as done already for high_slices_psize.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
