There are a couple issues, e.g. in mm/filemap.c, in the patchset I sent. I'll be looking into it today. I hope to send something within a few hours. But since tomorrow morning I'm moving, and I'm now packaging et all, I might have no time to finish it today. In that case until Wednesday I don't think I'll be able to continue on it...

Yeah, definitely. I'm following the other thread on 2.4.20-rmap15a and the dl hack. Let's see if we -you really, I'm not yet contributing anything- can make 2.4.20 work smoothly.
