From a6c75b86ce9f01db4ea9912877b526c2dc4d2f0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fenghua Yu Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2008 13:57:08 -0700 Subject: [IA64] Kernel parameter for max number of concurrent global TLB purges The patch defines kernel parameter "nptcg=". The parameter overrides max number of concurrent global TLB purges which is reported from either PAL_VM_SUMMARY or SAL PALO.
