I'm doubtful these patches will fix the highmem corruption problem
we've seen in the L1.  I actually extracted the changes in the
referenced commits from the vendor's current out-of-tree driver, and
unfortunately he was able to duplicate the problem in his lab using
that driver.

As a workaround, Chuck, your reporter can boot with mem=3900 until the
problem is resolved.

I go on record with Chris:  we should apply the patch at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/25/293 until we get to the bottom of it.
The patch is in Jeff's queue, but I think he suspects a driver bug and
so far hasn't chosen to apply the patch.

Jeff, can we ask you to please reconsider?
