I finally managed to trace the cause to this change in 2.6.16-git6:
Can you be more specific as to which version of Xorg you are using?
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.
Xorg 7.0 works for me on said U5 and U30 just fine ("distribution" is
T2 - http://www.t2-project.org).
When I'm back in the office (abroad right now) I can patch X to mmap
as advised by David.
Yours,
