The filesystems will need to be audited. The mm subsystem will need a
fair chunk of changes to understand that a single page is not necessarily
mapped at a 0 offset from the beginning of a page cache page; we will
still need to support PAGE_SIZE'd offsets of mappings if we want
applications to continue to work. Then the memory allocator will require
tweaking to ensure that fragmentation doesn't pose any major problems.

Lots. Stabilising 2.4 is much more important right now.
