PATCH 1/1 block-highmem-all-18b

Hi,

A minor update version, nothing major. Changes:

- Megaraid highmem I/O enabled again, since 2.4.14 this should be safe. Verified by Arjan. (me)
- Change can_dma_32 to highmem_io to make the meaning more clear (me).
- Drop discontig pfn change for now (me)

Find it here:

*.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/axboe/patches/2.4.15-pre9/block-highmem-all-18b.bz2

#1 lore raw

Erk... I applied this patch to 2.2.16pre1 on a 2GB SMP machine with an onboard aic7899 scsi controller. This morning I came in to find the machine had panicked with "Ththththaats all folks. Too dangerous to continue."

There was nothing else in syslog either remotely or on disk, and nothing else on the console apart from the panic.

Any ideas what might cause this?

Let me know if I can provide any further information.
