This is a critical bug. The patch referenced above modifies a single file: include/asm-generic/tlb.h. I had a look at the git history of Linus' 2.6.24 tree, and noticed that the cited patch was applied on December 18, 2007 to Linus' tree by Christoph Lameter. Two weeks later, on December 27, the change was reverted by Christoph. Christoph, can you provide us some more background information about why the patch was reverted ?
