[uClinux-dev] Shared Flat support for ARM

[vivek tyagi]

Hi Greg

I have started with 3.4.0,however the changes should be portable to
4.x as well.If I remember correctly the shared flat approach for m68k
was laid open in 2004(or much earlier) but I have never come across a
similar open source implementation for ARM..I am sorry but are we sure
that there is no previous implementations for ARM(except xflat ) which
has been made available with source code??
