I'm working on a preparation on the HP-PA RISC Architecture.I'm desparately
trying to figure out, how you administer the virtual to physical address
translation. 

Unfortunately HP's description of this translation is very vague. They
describe, that the virtual page number is hashed, thus providing a pointer
in a hashtable (the PDIR INdex) which provides a pointer in the physical
page directory (to chained PDIR-Entrys), where the page attributes are
stored (NOT the physical page number).

The physical page number (ppn) is identical with the index from the
hashtable. But this only makes sense, if it's not the virtual page number (vpn)
which is hashed, but the physical page number, coming out of the
hardware translation? IS THIS SO ? Is the PDIR Index of the hashtable vpn 
the hashed ppn or the hashed ?

I need help _very_ urgently, so evry little hint is appreciated _very_ much!
Thank you very much in advance! Please e-mail reply.
