OK, sure in this case it should be fine because you know what you're
doing. In the case where someone submits a /dev/mem mapping for direct
IO, things would be different.
So I've made this change... Test probably could be for 2.6.4 <= x <=
2.6.5 to rule out all buggy kernels, but I'll probably leave it this way
unless there is some good reason to not set VM_RESERVED on these older
kernels.
OK, if that is all that is required to fix it for you, then that's
a good result! Thanks for the mail and be sure to let us know if you
run into any other problems.
