>The root cause of bug 169 is, machine_to_phys_mapping, starting from
>0xffff800000000000, is mapped using 2M pages.  When the system has RAM
>no more than 2G, only one 2M page is allocated and only one 
>PDE entry is
>created correspondingly, so calling mfn_to_pfn with mfn > 0x80000 will
>overflow this 2M page and cause a unable handled kernel paging request.
>The mfn > 0x80000 comes from PCI device I/O memory, here from AGP
>display card when booting X server.  Jun suggested to use 
>something like
>get_user() when accessing machine_to_phys_mapping.
