Hi

[ Sorry for not reporting this earlier today, while 
  idr-fix-a-critical-misallocation-bug was still part of queue-2.6.32, but 
  bisecting this (and previously net-restore-ip-source-validation.patch) 
  took its time. ]

Just as a side note, this patch as part of the 2.6.32 stable queue (before 
this patch was removed again) seems to break logging into KDE 4.3.4 through
kdm on several different systems with Intel chipsets/ graphics (kvm 
active). X and kdm start normally, logging in shows the ksplash, which 
quickly terminates the xsession and dumps back to kdm. Removing just this 
patch from 2.6.32 + (previous) stable queue fixes the problem for me; 
however 2.6.33-rc6-git3 seems to be affected as well, but freezes X, 
instead of "just" terminating the current X session and reverting to kdm.

While I have reports from several different intel chipsets, I can 
personally reproduce it on an Intel D945GCLF2 mainboard:

I will test 2.6.33 HEAD with idr-fix-a-critical-misallocation-bug.patch
reverted when I get home tonight (UTC+1), I'm likely not able to respond 
before that either.
