Fuck a brick, you're right. Worked here tho 8) There's a moral here
somewhere about futzing with perfectly working code after midnight, I'm
sure.
Name: Don't allocate 2^16 pages in lg.ko
Code cleanup which avoided use of get_order() resulted in a thinko: we
allocated 65536 pages instead of 65536 bytes. Thanks to James Morris
for pointing this out (twice!).
