use sum(npages)/((nkeys == 1) ? 1 : nkeys + 1) as expected index page
estimation for multi-key quals - instead of sum(npages).
In old code npages for x > 10 and x < 20 is twice as for x > 10 - cool ?
Subject: [HACKERS] linux/alpha patches
These patches lay the groundwork for a Linux/Alpha port. The port doesn't
actually work unless you tweak the linker to put all the pointers in the
first 32 bits of the address space, but it's at least a start. It
implements the test-and-set instruction in Alpha assembly, and also fixes
a lot of pointer-to-integer conversions, which is probably good anyway.
