I find it funny they got it added to Kernel when there is really no good documentation or experience with how the two different memory models will mix together?

I find it funny they got it added to Kernel when there is really no good documentation or experience with how the two different memory models will mix together? Maybe I'm missing something obvious.

Here's a pretty good blog post that discusses how the memory models could interact: https://paulmck.livejournal.com/65341.html https://paulmck.livejournal.com/65341.html My understanding is that it might not be entirely settled yet, and is still being discussed. That could explain why there isn't much solid documentation written yet

There's plenty of discussion out there - just not much in the way of nicely formatted documentation. There is a consensus on the way forward, but it remains to be seem how many tricky details can be resolved.
