Hi,
Another patch made it in that assumes FIXADDR_USER_* is constant:
> [PATCH] Put fixmaps into /proc/pid/maps via a pseudo-vma

> From: David Mosberger <[email protected]>

> This patch makes /proc/PID/maps report the range from FIXADDR_USER_START to
> FIXADDR_USER_END as a final pseudo-vma. This is consistent with the notion
> that reading /proc/PID/maps tells you about every page containing data that

On ppc64 I want the 32bit and 64bit FIXADDR area to be at different
places. It would seem ia64 have the same problem supporting x86 properly.
