Not sure we did. It does add quite a bit of code that probably wouldn't
be needed/wanted for, say, a laptop system or other small systems that
still have an mmu. I initially made it configurable keeping in mind
your speeches about not burdening smaller systems with larger system
features, ...
Just some busy work. I added a fair number of wrappers and such to
minimize #ifdefs in the .c files. This resulted in quite a few such
#ifdefs in the respective headers. Removing these should mostly
involve removing the #ifdef and the #else case. Most of them that
remain in .c files are for large blocks of code, mostly complete
functions, and can just be removed.
Let me know the consensus. I can send in a patch to remove them if it's
agreed. Might want to wait until we're sure that this is the only
barrier to merging, as the option might be useful during testing.
