BUG() in copy_fdtable() with 64K pages (2.6.19-rc1-mm1)

I keep hitting this on -rc1-mm1. The system comes up but I can't login
since login hits it.

Bisect says that fdtable-implement-new-pagesize-based-fdtable-allocator.patch is at fault.

CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=y is required for it to fail, with 4K pages it's fine.

(Hardware is a Quad G5, 1GB RAM, g5_defconfig + CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES, defaults
on all new options)
