    [PATCH] x86-64 updates · fb75a3d4
    Andi Kleen authored
    Various accumulated x86-64 patches and bug fixes.
    
    It fixes one nasty bug that has been there since NX is used by 
    default in the kernel. With heavy AGP memory allocation it would
    set NX on parts of the kernel mapping in some corner cases, which gave
    endless crash loops. Thanks goes to some wizards in AMD debug labs
    for getting a trace out of this.
    
    Also various other fixes. This patches only changes x86-64 specific
    files, i have some changes outside too that I am sending separately.
