This looks fishy...

static void i810_free_page(drm_device_t *dev, unsigned long page)
{
struct page * p = virt_to_page(page);
if(page == 0UL)
return;

put_page(p);
unlock_page(p);
[...]

You get to unlock_page with p = %eax

void unlock_page(struct page *page)
{
wait_queue_head_t *waitqueue = page_waitqueue(page);

[...]

The question now is... what is going on here???

static void i810_free_page(drm_device_t *dev, unsigned long page <-- )
{
struct page * p = virt_to_page(page); <--

What exactly is unsigned long page supposed to be? I sure as hell hope its
an address... if it is, thats a really strange variable naming...
