I don't think the patch is suitable for merging at this time. Perhaps
if it survives some time in -mm* / 2.6.23* it could be backported
in a later 2.6.22 stable release. But right now it definitely
needs more testing and addressing of my review comments.
BTW an unrelated/happy side-effect of the patch is that it removes
the zero-size-guilty kmalloc()'s from the mtrr code. -mm does have
some fixes that prevent those zero-size allocations, which could
likely be retired if this gets merged in? ...
[ On another unrelated note, could someone tell me who maintains
i386? I've looked around, but surprisingly can't seem to find
anybody listed anywhere. ]
