Really? None of you use any modern CPU's, or you're _all_ running 32-bit 
distros even though your cpu's could support 64-bit ones?

I would suggest at least _somebody_ in the intel graphics team try to get 
with the times.. I realize that Otellini was saying "Nobody needs 64-bit 
on the desktop" a few years ago, but he was full of sh*t then, and it's 
certainly not remotely true now.

It's not being disloyal to your CEO, really. I'm pretty sure nobody will 
be fired just for ignoring that whole "640kB^H^H^H^H^H32-bits should be 
enough for everybody" idiocy.

oops, yes. Thinko. I reversed the meaning of the return value: at first I 
just returned "unwritten", but decided that that was a really ugly 
interface, and then when I prettied that up, I didn't fix the !HIGHMEM 
case. And I obviously never _tested_ it.
