No offense, but I am a bit annoyed. If you are going to copy my code
you should at least keep up with the fixes. You are missing all of the
stuff to handle the poison value. If you are going to just duplicate
my setup you might as well have just pulled the QEMU patches from the
last submission I did. Then this would have at least has the fix for
the page poisoning. Also it wouldn't hurt to mention that you are
basing it off of the patch set I submitted since it hasn't been
accepted yet.
