Good point.

IIRC we tried merging the patch, but without luck at that time. It was said, that there's another method
(with an even <irony>better</irony> syntax) which could also handle this case and there should be better 
some hacking to get the syntax parsed to use the functions of this already in-kernel method.
I don't know the status of this (guess: none). 
What I know: badmem worked here really good. (But meantime I bought new ram.)

Best regards,
Jan-Simon
