with this change, I can't get as far as selecting channels (previous situation):
I consistently get the following Oops on starting xawtv (tried three times).
However, as well as your change I slimmed down my kernel config and turned on
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, so it is not clear whether the change to memory.c is
responsable.  I will try again, reverting the memory.c change.

I have been seeing occasional bttv related oopsen for a while now, since
2.6.14 at least.  The lack of a picture and associated error messages
from xawtv are new.  So likely you are right that they have different causes.

All the best,

Duncan.
