This is the beginning of what I intend to be a semi-technical blog on what is happening with the Linux kernel with the virtual memory manager (VMM). At the time of writing, I work with IBMs Linux Technology Center out of a house in Limerick, Ireland. I guess the usual disclaimer is that on this blog, I speak on my own behalf and in no way represent IBM's position, strategies or whatever else occurs to you related to the company. While far from being the most influencial VMM developer in Linux, there is not a whole pile of information out there on what is happening and something is better than nothing. Most of the time, I work on improving large page support so I imagine many posts will deal with that subject. Depending on the mood, general activity and spare time, I'll blabber on about other subjects.
