This was being used to ensure the proper alignment of the FXSAVE/FXRSTOR data.
This would create a sparse error in the _correct_ cases, hiding further
warnings. Use BUILD_BUG_ON instead.

Hello.
I found that there are "current->pid", "task_pid_vnr(current)"
and "task_pid_nr(current)" cases in kernel 2.6.24 .
According to include/linux/pid.h ,
"task_pid_nr()" is global id and "task_xid_vnr()" is virtual id.
But what id does "current->pid" indicate?
Is "current->pid" equivalent to "

This fixes some problems with ATAPI devices on nForce4 controllers in ADMA mode
on systems with memory located above 4GB. We need to delay setting the 64-bit
DMA mask until the PRD table and padding buffer are allocated so that they don't
get allocated above 4GB and break legacy mode (which is need

Kernel config is at http://I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp/tmp/config-2.6.24-mm1

This is wrt to x86 git commit f56d005d30342a45d8af2b75e82200f09600
"x86: no CPA on iounmap"
This can use performance issue. When a GART driver unmaps a RAM page,
which was mapped as UC, this commit will still retain UC attribute
on the kernel identity mapping. This can cause mysterious
