Dan, I'm assuming your changes in there are the cause of this. AFAICT all
you're doing is moving code around, so it's a bit odd.
Bernhard, the config would be useful please.
Neil, is calibrate_xor_block() being rational?
b1 = (void *) __get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL, 2);
...
b2 = b1 + 2*PAGE_SIZE + BENCH_SIZE;
Is it correct to add BENCH_SIZE to b2 here?
