Thanks everybody for your help. I have at least located the site of the

The last remaining archs that have not already been converted from
verify_area to access_ok by the previous patches are all taken care of by
this one.

This patch converts verify_area to access_ok in arch/i386, fs/, kernel/
and a few other bits that didn't fit in the other patches or that I
actually was able to test on my hardware - this is by far the best tested
of all the patches.

The previous 9 patches should take care of converting all callers of
verify_area into access_ok, so now it's time to deprecate verify_area all
over so noone gets tempted to use it in new code - this patch does that.
Eventually when this has been deprecated for a while I'll send patches to

Yes, flipping back to the 2.6.10 kernel resolves the sound issue through
the docking station so that everything runs without incident. Though I'd
like to see/assist in resolving the issue for future releases :).
