Randy,

I went back and looked through the usages of these macros and it does
indeed seem that nobody else tries to state 'supported' in MODULE_INFO
so I have removed that and added an email address to the author line,
which should always stay valid.

Cheers,
Jes

This patch implements the special memory driver (mspec) based on the
do_no_pfn approach. The driver is currently used only on SN2 hardware
with special fetchop support but could be beneficial on other
architectures using the uncached mode.

+ * This driver exports the SN special memory (mspec) facility to user

+ * There are three types of memory made available thru this driver:
+ * fetchops, uncached and cached.
+ *
+ * Fetchops are atomic memory operations that are implemented in the
+ * memory controller on SGI SN hardware.
+ *
+ * Uncached are used for memory write combining feature of the ia64
+ * cpu.
+ *
+ * Cached are used for areas of memory that are used as cached addresses
+ * on our partition and used as uncached addresses from other partitions.
+ * Due to a design constraint of the SN2 Shub, you can not have processors
+ * on the same FSB perform both a cached and uncached reference to the
+ * same cache line.  These special memory cached regions prevent the
+ * kernel from ever dropping in a TLB entry and therefore prevent the
+ * processor from ever speculating a cache line from this page.
