But without that change I've got oopses (fortunately not fatal)

The synchronization we already do for the vptb also
takes care of vmalloc.

Yeah.
The thing I actually cared most about was the comment, which makes the
patch palatable to me.

You missed the point. The layering on the X86 memory managment is such:

I understand that a normal virtual address (i.e. a pointer) can only address a

In _all_ cases you are limited by the size of linear address. I.e. all

About a year ago there was a short thread about unresolved symbols in the
ipx module, which doesn't appear to have come to a solution. I have just
had the same problem, and have some new information to add.

The problem: "depmod -ae" says

I've found the problem. This type of loop does not work:

alarm(0);
} while (data);
There are some semantics here that differ from other *nix where this
works. The read() won't come out when the alarm comes, and
