Most if the paging/MMU code is also architecture specific which means
that it resides in the arch/mm subfolders.

I saw that there was a MM 101 presentation last week at the Open Source
Summit [1], Unfortunatetly, it is quite high-level and most likelt
uninterestting to you.

But there is also a huge subsection in the official kernel documentation
which has many references to the mm/ and arch/mm code [2].

Cheers,
Steffen
