Given that glibc already implements fallocate for all filesystems, it will
need to continue to do so for filesystems which don't implement this

Hi,
Currently MMCONFIG is ignored if it is located over 4G, but I see no reason
to reject it on x86_64 platform.
This patch is against 2.6.21-rc2 and was tested on
such a machine (MMCONFIG is located at 0xfe1000)
without any problem.
Any comments?

Hi!
Well I had an idea after looking at k8temp -- why not make it default to
doing only reads from the sensor? You'd only get information from
whatever
core/sensor combination that ACPI had last used, but it would be safe.
ACPI is broken here, not k8temp, so let's fix

How about this? It's informational only, but ought to result in
complaints whenever ACPI tries to touch something that other hardware
has reserved. We can't fail these accesses, but in theory we could
consider some sort of locking layer that made it possible to interact
anyway. I haven't even

Every syscall must return a long. Otherwise you can have problems on
