That's a clever idea; the downside would be two copies of the jbd object code for the 32 and 64 variants (total size: 51k each), but if we're willing to live the resulting bloat in kernel text size (since it's likely that we will need both variants), it's a solution that makes the code maintainence much more doable. - Ted Using Tomcat but need to do more?
