Comment 7 for bug 1156077

@Chris Wilson,

Your patch applied to the Raring tree without an issue. However, there were some build warnings and a build error, which prevented the kernel from compiling.

The following is the warnings and the error:

It looks like size_total was not declared in your new function: aperture_already_claimed(). Were you able to compile your patch? Does comment #3 contain the latest version?
