It _should_ have said something before this too. In particular, I'd have
expected a message like
X.org does an incomplete pfn remapping
Backtrace:
....
when the thing started up. Oh, and _just_ before that trace, I'd have
expected a
Bad page state at ....
flags: .....
which is also something I'd like to see.
Oh, and that "Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed" message should
be harmless. We share the same "bad_page()" function with all the
problems, even though the PageReserved() one should really be harmless
apart from being scary-noisy. So please keep running, if only to verify
that I'm not full of crap about that.
(I can silence the nasty warnings easily enough, but I wanted people who
triggered the new code-paths to be aware of it and report to me what
drivers to it, so they are _really_ noisy right now).
Thanks,
Linus
