I don't want to send you a patch for that immediately, we're still thinking through the implications of allowing VM_RESERVED there again (it might just hit another BUG, or leak memory). And we probably need to take the separate "vbetool" problem into account too. Though if you're curious and impatient, you could try just editing the " | VM_RESERVED" out of mm/memory.c get_user_pages.
