[procps] Re: [RFE] Show the page size used for an allocation in the pmap

Hi guys ...

> The first question about this is would someone use it? 

Yes, someone would. We received some use-cases where page sizes
displayed by the pmap tool could speed a database debugging up.

I also believe, that having a separate switch is better in order
to preserve a backward compatibility for customer scripts 
built on top of the pmap tool & using the current implementation
of the -x switch.
But if You say, that "-x is full enough". We should also support
a combination of -x and -s and that would have to be "full", since
it is supposed to display a full set of columns.

> Please note Sami's comments regarding NLS for timing.

Yes. I noticed the nls related email flood :] I don't wanna make
an additional mess in Your merges. I'll probably start with
this feature after NYE and send You the patch for testing/confirmation.

So ... nice Christmas (for everybody who celebrates them)
and see You next year.

BR, J.
