thanks a lot for checking the patch.
this patch is obsolete by #PF handler version.

so if possible, you can check my for-x86-boot branch instead.
   http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/yinghai/linux-yinghai.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/for-x86-boot

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/yinghai/linux-yinghai.git
for-x86-boot

will repost them after HPA is ok with my changes to his #PF handler patch.


Thanks

Yinghai
