Thanks! My plan is to make a patch first which uses a '#define' for the privilege level instead the hard coded '2'. This should minimize a possible negative impact.

Enabling 3 levels is certainly a good idea. Just be very careful: the 2 is hard-coded and the level compression is often done simply by or-ing 2. You have to replace the or with a max!

I've seen it, thanks. So far I've found the following places: - checking and setting of cr.ipsr in various assembler sources - setting of ar_rsc - setting of page attributes (_PAGE_PL_2) - psr evaluation I did nothing in the vmx*.[ch] sources. Anything I might have missed?
