Several people including me have reported being unable to run Xorg 7.0 on ATI-based sparc64 machines such as U5s [0]. Symptoms include kernel hangs as well as transient [1,2] or permanent [3] filesystem corruptions. I just recompiled a kernel with your patch and it doesn't make any difference in that respect (besides, re-adding the `prot = __pgprot(...)' line looks questionable since the input value of PROT becomes unused as a result). Xorg 6.9, OTOH, was apparently working fine for most people. Thanks, Ludovic.
