We talked about this, and I think everyone here agrees that there's not much point in pulling this change back to the older kernels. The only exception here would be that we'd definitely like this change on the older kernels *if* my other memmap fixes get ported back to those kernels, though I don't know what the chances are of those changes making it through stable. So, unless you have a particular reason that you'd like to pull it back to the old kernels, or you think that my other fixes might make it back there, I don't see much point. Let me know what you think! - Alex
