the only problem left is that there are generic changes

Variable Order Page Cache: Add basic allocation functions
Extend __page_cache_alloc to take an order parameter and
modify caller sites. Modify mapping_set_gfp_mask to set
__GFP_COMP if the mapping requires higher order allocations.
It's really an interesting feature, IMHO, maybe the UML would be no
more needed.
if you speak of debugging , uml seems to have another competitor now.
maybe somebody make some side by side comparison of vmware uml regarding
kernel debugging. (and also compare that to traditional debugging

I'm not sure we've agreed enough, who'll resubmit, so here
it is with WARN_ON. If it was submited already - forget it.

IMHO cancel_rearming_delayed_work is dangerous place:
- it assumes a work function always rearms (with no exception),
which probably isn't explained

Stephen,
From your description of the problem, it sounds just like writes to
PCI memory-mapped address space are being delayed and/or reordered in
the processor when in x86-64 mode.
I'd suggest to add wmb()/rmb() or (overkill) mb() calls after MMIO
stores to flush writes immediately and force
