Hi!

Following code

RCS file: /cvsroot/linux-vr/linux/mm/filemap.c,v
retrieving revision 1.1.1.8

         unsigned long htable_size, order;
 
- htable_size = mempages;
+ htable_size = mempages; /* This is wrong with memory
with holes :-( */
         htable_size *= sizeof(struct page *);
         for(order = 0; (PAGE_SIZE << order) < htable_size; order++)
                 ;

Is just wrong on machines such as philips velo 1 which have memory
holes: too much ram is assigned to hash tables. I wonder if there's
easy way to fix this?
