I'm sorry if you find me arrogant -- that certainly was not my intent. I
did look at the files and changes are not as trivial as cut and paste.

Well, I've been using similar changes since July. I may live with
patches forever and be fine. Still this is not the point with free
software. It would be malicious if I had a fix and I wouldn't share it.
Sooner or later someone would discover the problem again and would waste
time to track it down unnecessarily. And again, and again...

It's not a lot, supposedly, but look at the case from my point of view.
It's a bugfix and not a new feature. I've invested a few hours in finding
the cause of a weird bug on a MIPS/Linux machine. I am providing a ready
solution that works for most architectures with the exception of a few
ones I'm not familiar with.
Well, it's great I have an opportunity to get better knowledge on these
architectures, but I cannot always afford it and I know there are people
who already have enough knowledge to be sure bits get written correctly
immediately. I never hesitate to do job myself in the areas I am familiar
with or when I have enough free time (and I do have, from time to time).
I don't have time currently, I am afraid (basically I am now stealing the
time I would otherwise spend sleeping for a task that was quite low on my
priority list) and I am sure someone familiar with the specific ports
would spend less time than I do. Finally I do consider my time equally
worth to anyone else's one, so why should I have to spend x units of time,
whilst some else would only spend x/2 or x/3 or whatever... Of course I
consider this rule working both ways.

The port gets crapped from time to time, although Ralf is doing great job
to keep it fine, so it's more that specific MIPS hosts lag behind the rest
of the kernel. Still I consider it the specific maintainer's job to get
things synchronized. It just works better this way.

I'm not so sure, I'm afraid, especially at this time of the day. Check
timestamps of mails if curious...

Nie za ma co. ;-)
A patch follows. Architecture-specific changes are completely untested.
I hope I got things right, otherwise I'll consider my time wasted.
BTW, I've noticed the "if (flags & MAP_FIXED)" statements in
arch_get_unmapped_area() in arch/sparc*/kernel/sys_sparc.c are dead code
now, as get_unmapped_area() in mm/mmap.c never calls it if MAP_FIXED is
set in flags.
