OK. This is the same issue as the one on this thread here http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0808.2/1532.html
We have too many entires in PAT list due to RAM pages being marked UC by drivers. Unfortunately, there are no quick fixes that can fix this for 2.6.27. However, we are aware of the problem here and working on a more complete fix for this. We should have the patch for it soon.
Thanks, Venki
