When address translation is enabled, a space register is *always* used.
You cannot turn that off.  Specifying '00' in the space register
select bits really does mean that you use space register 7 to calculate
the 64 bit virtual address.  (Humor me, and pretend that all
implementations of space registers are 32 bits, even though they aren't.)

If you "don't want to have anything to do with space registers", you
can put the same value (such as zero) in all of the space registers.

I don't understand.  Are you saying that there is a single 4gByte virtual
address range that is shared by the kernel and all user processes?  Or
do you plan to provide a separate 4gByte virtual address range to each
process/task/thread/whatever?

Jason--

I would be happy to create you an account and let you manage the
bootloader section of the ftp site, unless Alex has any objections. 
Just send me an ssh key and I'll activate an account by the same name
as your cvs account.  At some point it might be prudent to add it to
the cvs server and then pull periodic snapshots, but whatever, that's
your call.
