Wow, I'm wondering. The kernel-of-the-day from SUSE (20040929, 20041023
and 20041028) (2.6.8 + 2.6.9-rc2 IIRC) do not even have unsigned int
__VMALLOC_RESERVE in arch/i386/mm/init.c.

More surprisingly, there is not any VMALLOC thing in the NV sources:

12:56 io:../src/nv # pwd
/usr/src/NV/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg0/usr/src/nv
12:56 io:../src/nv # grep VMALLOC_RES *
12:56 io:../src/nv # cd /usr/src/NV6/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1/usr/src/nv/
12:56 io:../src/nv # grep VMALLOC_RES *
12:56 io:../src/nv #

So it's not in the 4496 (which I use, due to speed problems with 5xxx and
6xxx in the past) and neither in the 6111.

I'm puzzled, comments welcome.
