i don`t have the skills for this and i don`t understand, why hpa forwarded discussion to lkml at this early stage, as it is a patch primary meant for the ubuntu kernel to adress an ubuntu specific problem.

sure it is not perfect and not the optimal way to proceed, but it is a solution to a problem.

we wouldn`t have this problem and we wouldn`t have this patch if there wasn`t the discision to drop support for non-pae kernels.

so hopefully the ubuntu kernel maintainers will give a comment on this patch or pick it up to make a version which fulfils kernel code-quality/style or patch-submission requirements.

this patch is rather unintrusive and it easily solves a problem for many users. i spend many hours on debugging this issue and developing this patch, so for now please understand that i`m done with it.
