Patch not working. Arse.

Adding a printk() just before the offending line seemed to fix it, which is
odd. Then it just oopsed in fb_mmap instead, which is annoying. I'm fairly
sure I'm using the right System.map - after all, I only compiled the damn
thing five minutes ago.

I'll take another look {in the morning,later,when I regain consciousness}.

3:30 am isn't the best time to be trying to work this stuff out.
