I prefer to just invert the order of the fixmap declaration. It's simpler and more straightforward. Backward fixmaps seems to be used by both x86 32 and 64. It's a really nasty bug, because it only hurts when instructions to patch are crossing a page boundary. If this happens, the fixmap write accesses will spill on the following fixmap, which may very well crash the system. And this does not crash the system, it could leave illegal instructions in place. Thanks Masami for finding this. It seems to have crept into the 2.6.30-rc series, so this calls for a -stable inclusion.
