Any ideas on how to write a prober(), probew() PAL code like routine on 
I32. I tried to find a way to do this, but it's somewhat difficult.
I think the only way would be to find the PTE entry for the virtual 
address and check the mode.

Also, What are you thoughts about modes. The I32 only has 2 modes in a 
flat virtual address space. Were you thinking of having 4 modes like 
openVMS - just wondering what your thoughts were.

Linux rebuilds the kernel for such things as single CPU vs multiple 
CPUs. But VMS doesn't.  I was trying to finish up the interlocked queue 
routines and was wondering. Shouldn't matter much on performance.

VMS Itanimum has a new SYS$PAL code routines. Theses jump to kernel and 
do the same thing as the alpha PAL code routines. Sorry, I haven't had 
much time to work on this much...
