I've been testing this on a range of test boxes we have here, mostly x86
and ppc. Mostly with kernbench and the like. So far no problems have
reared their heads.
I've not been able to get much or a realistic test on amd64 box, I seem
to be struggling with combinations of scsi problems on the machine from
other changes in -mm. The good news is that it gets far enough to
break with scsi problems and problems in sparsemem generally lead to
death much earlier than this.
