Ah yes, that's what I mean. I changed the #ifdefs for my compat fix in
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6/log/?h=master-compat
and tried compiling it the both ways.

Well, Nouveau master-compat users would have hit it, but I added your
fix, too. Users with x86_32 highmem kernels already hit the
kmap_atomic_prot not exported bug while building the latest DRM,
TTM and Nouveau bits against distro kernels.

So yeah, no-one anyone (else) would care about ;-)


Thanks.
