Also, do not send it the linux/mm.h changes. Due to the multiple memory attribute issue, I'm not sure the VM_NONCACHED and VM_WRITECOMBINED are such good ideas (besides, I don't think they're really needed anymore).

Yes, there is no reason this patch shouldn't be in 2.4.xx as far as I'm concerned. Thanks, --david
