... which pretty much proves the point that these patches should not 
go via any "trivial" tree.

Those additions of mmu pointers you did were outright lethal, i 
doubt this stuff could have booted on both 32-bit and 64-bit x86.

Please dont do this. Or if you do, please double check your change 
and double check that the relevant vmlinux disassembly is still bit 
for bit the same.
