This is the reason why I disabled that functionality on Linux 2.6.
Apperently newer 2.4 kernels have the same problem. :-/ Anyway, it was
only used for PCI DMA, currently it is completely unused (or could be
so).

I don't understand that code very well, I'm not even sure what it does.
I couldn't come up with a straight forward solution since the functions
in question don't have a vma argument. If in doubt, it could just be
disabled completely.

BTW, I'm going to start working on the DRM driver soon. I'm not sure
where to make my changes, in the xc module or in the new drm module. Has
the transition been formally completed? I havn't heard anything definite
yet. But apperently some people are already committing stuff in the new
place.
