I'm busy with the reserved ram patch against 2.6.25 and latest kvm.git that is moving from pages to pfn for pci passthrough (that change will also remove the page pin with mmu notifiers). Unfortunately reserved-ram bugs out again in the blk-settings.c on real hardware. The fix I pushed in .25 for it, works when booting kvm (that's how I tested it) but on real hardware sata b_pfn happens to be 1 page less than the result of the min comparison and I'll have to figure out what happens (only .24 code works on real hardware..., at least my fix is surely better than the previous .25-pre code). I've other people waiting on that reserved-ram to be working, so once I've finished, I'll do the optimization to anon-vma (at least the removal of the unnecessary atomic_inc from fork) and add the config option. Christoph if you've interest in evolving anon-vma-sem and i_mmap_sem yourself in this direction, you're very welcome to go ahead while I finish sorting out reserved-ram. If you do, please let me know so we don't duplicate effort, and it'd be absolutely great if the patches could be incremental with #v14 so I can merge them trivially later and upload a new patchset once you're finished (the only outstanding fix you have to apply on top of #v14 that is already integrated in my patchset, is the i_mmap_sem deadlock fix I posted and that I'm sure you've already applied on top of #v14 before doing any more development on it).
