armv7hl LPAE kernel config
Hi all, I realized that config/armv7hl/lpae is a whole flavored config instead of an 'overlay' config like for example config/arm64/64kb. Wouldn't it make more sense to transform lpae config into an overlay so that any driver changes done to armv7hl default config does not need to be mirrored against the default one? Regards, Matthias

AFAIK default is an overlay over lpae. Thanks Michal

$ wc -l config/armv7hl/* 12383 config/armv7hl/default 11988 config/armv7hl/lpae 6 config/armv7hl/vanilla That would be a huge overlay. Regards, Matthias

Nevermind, the lpae config is an overlay onver default in Leap but not Tumbleweed, and there are some places that assume that lpae exists but these are independent of config. I suppose you can lift the lpae fragment from Leap and get a mostly working config. Thanks Michal
