Comment 12 for bug 1039916

Two tests have confirmed that the nvidia driver DKMS package security patches are the cause of the breakage to nvclock/smartdimmer. The upshot is that maybe 'nvclock' should be removed from the archives since the security patches
appear sane and are important to protect most users.

After reversing the recent security update patch 'smartdimmer' was able to request all but one memory region - PRAMIN.

After also removing from the base nvidia package the blacklist for IS_REG_RANGE_WITHIN_MAPPING(nv, 0x700000, 0x100000, offset, length) the program was able to map all memory successfully.

Unfortunately another SIGSEGV occurs whilst calling getpagesize() in unmap_dev_mem() for PCIO (140737354022912 is 0x7ffff7fe4000). I'm not clear how or why getpagesize() should SIGSEGV.

(gdb) c
Continuing.
OK: map_mem(): PCIO register 0xd5601000 requested 0x2000 and received 0x2000 after 0 attempts at 0x7ffff7fe4000
