I'm planning on releasing an updated version today, with the changes
Eric pointed out were necessary (mainly not running it on non-Intel
CPUs, since AMD maps high memory differently). But it's good to see
that the forward porting part of it will be easy. :)

I'm shooting for inclusion post 2.6.22, since I think the change is a
bit too intrusive (mucking with early boot code) to push it before
that.

Thanks,
Jesse
