> 1) What's the status on getting PAGG support into the main-line 2.6
We try to send a new pagg patch out with each release but we haven't
sent one since 2.6.11.
We're very interested in getting it in to the kernel but have met
resistance. In my opinion, one of the big hurdles is "not enough
users". Perhaps it is time to try to get a discussion going in LKML
again.

This might help you. If there is interest, I'd personally be happy to
put some docs together if I could get some input as to what is desired.

We're also very interested in any ideas on how to get this accepted in to
the kernel. It was once in akpm's tree for a short time, but was
later removed (I think due to lack of users in my opinion).
Thanks!
