oh, i had your patches applied then undid them due to this:
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0804.2/0253.html
havent seen a followup to that mail so it was 'issue pending'.
so i very much agree that your changes are cleaner, i just wanted to have one that has all the fixes included.
Would you like to post a patch against current -git or should i extract the cleaner reserve_bootmem() from your previous patch?
Ingo
