Did you get these patches in too: 25021c9 x86: define arch_vm_get_page_prot to set _PAGE_IOMAP on VM_IO vmas 2eb6682 drm: recompute vma->vm_page_prot after changing vm_flags dbbc947 ttm: Set VM_IO only on pages with TTM_MEMTYPE_FLAG_FIXED set. > > I suppose I should poke through 2.6.33..2.6.37-rc and see if anything > jumps out for backporting. > > > > Did the series make any waves upstream?

Yes, and those three I mentioned earlier should suffice as a temporary solution. Or you can go straight ahead and look at devel/p2m-identity (however, there is a bug in them - ballooning in huge amounts of memory does not work right). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
