The only kernels you are likely to see that not happen on are

- The 2.4.9 kernel with Rik's patches that Linus didnt take
(Red Hat 2.4.9-*)
- 2.4.17/18pre with the rmap11/rmap12 patches
- 2.4.17/18pre with the -aa patched VM
(which I believe is also in the SuSE kernel packages)
- 2.2

The base VM in Linus tree has been broken since before 2.4.0 and while
somewhat better is still that - broken. The major vendors don't ship it for
a reason.
