We talked about this, and I think everyone here agrees that there's not
much point in pulling this change back to the older kernels. The only
exception here would be that we'd definitely like this change on the
older kernels *if* my other memmap fixes get ported back to those
kernels, though I don't know what the chances are of those changes
making it through stable.

So, unless you have a particular reason that you'd like to pull it back
to the old kernels, or you think that my other fixes might make it back
there, I don't see much point.

Let me know what you think!
