The more interesting issue is that the current Fedora kernel doesn't use
64KiB pages on PPC64 hardware. Only the RHEL5 and FC6 kernels do. That

side of switching back to 4KiB pages.

This says to me that if we don't handle 64k-page compatibility in
Fedora, it just ends up falling to the EPEL people. How do they feel
about this?

And RHEL developers as well. Lets not build straw men. Its mysql we're
talking about here. The M in LAMP. Is it not inevitable that Red Hat
(And IBM?) is going to need this fixed and working anyway? Other than
this nasty bug in mysql, is there any other actual problem here?

We're having trouble with OpenJDK, and it's possible that this
problem is also caused by the change in page size.  We haven't
diagnosed it yet.
