Thanks, and re-added the proper CCs. Sigh...

Well, yes, the warning is actually new as well. Previously your kernel just 
silently ignored 8 more mem resources than it does now it seems.

Given that people are hitting these limits, it might make sense to just do 
away with the warning for 2.6.24 again while waiting for the dynamic code?
