Re: [PATCH v7 07/11] sparc64: optimized struct page zeroing

Hi Dave,

Thank you for acking.

The reason I am not doing initializing stores is because they require a membar, even if only regular stores are following (I hoped to do a membar before first load). This is something I was thinking was not true, but after consulting with colleagues and checking processor manual, I verified that it is the case.

You should probably use initializing stores when you are doing 8
stores and we thus know the page struct is cache line aligned.

But other than that:
