Hi

I have tested both this patch and the patch by Rabin and they are OK for me. 
The patches fixes the identified problems and I have not found any unwanted 
consequences from the patches.

Hi,

please find the patch below.

Oza,

Can you please append your actual patch as Rabin has done?  The only
thing that I have from you is this pseudo-code description:

> page_dir = pgd + PGD_OFFSET(vaddr) * 2;
> if (bit(vaddr,20)) //if bit is set then move to the next pgd */
> page_dir = page_dir + 1;
> FILL_PGD(PAGEBASE(pgd), KVADDR, PGDIR_SIZE());
> pgd_pte = ULONG(machdep->pgd + PGDIR_OFFSET(page_dir));
>

Then Mika can decide on how to proceed with the two patches.

Dave
