ia64, alpha and other architectures have configureable page size, 
which is IIRC, a kernel compile time constant.  If X is built to 
expect a specific pagesize on a given arch, it will break if the 
user changes their kernel's pagesize.  The X server already tries 
to handle this all over, but from time to time glitches like this 
one are found.

ia32 has a fixed 4k pagesize (not counting large pages of 
course), and so this patch does nothing on ia32.
