- memory corruption with IOMMU
pci_free_consistent- often causes crashes at shutdown. This is rather mysterious, the code is basically identical to 2.4 which works fine. Can only be seen on systems with >4GB of memory or with iommu=force
This is fixed.

change_page_attrcorrupts memory/crashes. Breaks some AGP users.
This is also fixed.

- some fixes from 2.4 still need to be merged
This is basically done, except the timing code.
Current new bug list:
- 32bit vsyscalls seem to be broken
- 32bit elf coredumps are broken
Required/Wanted features:
- need to coredump 64bit vsyscall code with dwarf2
- move 64bit signal trampolines into vsyscall code and add dwarf2 for it.
- describe kernel assembly with dwarf2 annotations for kgdb (currently waiting on some binutils changes for this)
