    actually, it's now believed that this is a BIOS problem that affects all
    Linux versions. The aspect of v2.6.27 is that it happens to put kernel
    pagetables into the area that gets corrupted by the BIOS - and users
    notice that.

    i.e. it's not a regression - unless i'm missing something.
