This is indeed pretty useful. A few comments on your version of the patch:
- might as well post a patch this small inline - In Kconfig, what happens if someone turns on highmem? It seems all the USER_XXX choices depend on NOHIGHMEM. also, the config option probably needs at least some help text. - the change to vmlinux.ld.S can be dropped from future versions (Linus merged this post-2.6.8) - why create PAGE_OFFSET_RAW in asm-generic, when it depends on i386-only config symbols and is only used in i386? - what's the reason for the odd rewrite of free_one_pgd()? it looks equivalent (and misindented)
