Ok, I've gone over the patches and retested them. Other than having
to extend them to cover x86_64 they still seem to work as planned. I
have updated the commentry to better explain the problem and the
fix as encapsulated here.
When this was proposed last time there was push back to get the
nodes right. Whist this is clearly a good thing, I think we need
this as a first step if the underlying patches are going to stay
in.
We definitely need something like this. Having some sysdata static and
some sysdata dynamic makes me nervous, and so I want to review the code
paths in depth before applying this. My gut feeling is that there is a
bug remaining in this area, that this patch might exacerbate.
