It is not quite clear to me what you are arguing for or against.

What exactly was the problem that was fixed in the latest pre kernel ?
A coding mistake was fixed.
Here is the patch if you're interested (cut'n'pasted so not applicable)

Hi
if you compile hga as a module, you get unresolved symbols,
you need the following patch for it.
The patch is trivial. Apply, please.
Later, Juan.

I am facing an odd problem here. I have an application here
that requires a HUGE physically contiguous memory area to
be locked (yes, I have hardware DMA'ing in and out of that
area, over the PCI bus). HUGE being like one Gig (could be
more if needed...)

(well, xfs also works if I recall correctly)
I set the labels with e2label.

Hi,
I have continuing problems with getting the initrd ramdisk out of memory once
bootup is complete.
This is with recent -ac kernels which have the fix-up posted a few months ago
