Indeed. Plus if you add pci32 zone, it'll be needed for it too on x86-64, like for the normal zone on x86, since ptes will go in highmem while pci32 allocations will not. So while floppy might be fixed, this issue would be for brand new pci32 zone needed by some device (i.e. nvidia, so not such a unlikely corner case). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
