Hi,

My apologies for the very late reply. Unfortunately I've had no time for 
work on kernel issues the last few weeks.

I have not specifically tested any of the proposed patches, but I can 
confirm that the "expected mapping type" errors are gone with -rc2 
and -rc3. Thanks a lot.

The artifacts are still there though and frequently even worse than 
originally reported. I will open a bugzilla entry for that.

Cheers,
FJP
