Well that's a rather grave sounding bug. Two days and nobody from DM land
has commented? Hello?
I'll tag this as needed in 2.6.23.x as well.
I'll duck the "dm: struct io_restriction reordered" patch. People have
been changing things around in there and I had to fix a reject in "dm:
bounce_pfn limit added" to make it apply - let's not complicate life.
However it is a good change and hopefully the DM people will pick it up.
