Are you doing a fork()? If so then, yes, you will not be able to make
your app work on a RHEL4 kernel. After get_user_pages(), if you do a
fork() then a copy-on-write will still happen, which will cause the
physical page to move as you have discovered.
This is fixed on newer kernels with libibverbs 1.1 (not yet released
though). I don't think there's any real way to make it work on
RHEL4's 2.6.9 kernel.
