Re: struct user, quo vadis?

:hey,
:
:now only u_sigacts is used in struct user, and we don't support swapping =
:the kernel stack (that's what UPAGES is, right?) anyways anymore.  Could =
:we remove struct user then?  Or at least remove all those checks for swap=
:ped in processes to access data?

    Most of the checks are already gone.  The ones that remain are primarily
    needed to deal with processes that are in the middle of exiting or 
    that are in a zombie state.

    But, generally speaking, yes... I'd love to get rid of the UPAGES junk
    entirely.

    I think there are still a few things in there, though.  I think the
    process stats and the PCB are still in there.  Not entirely sure.
