Nick,
The problem is corrected with this patch. I am running with 3GB of kernel memory and 1GB user space with the userspace splitting patch with very heavy swapping and user space app activity and no failed allocations. This patch should be rolled into 2.6.9-rc2 since it fixes the problem. With standard 3GB User/1GB kernel address space, it also fixes the problems with X server running out of memory and the apps crashing.

Here's the stats from the test of the patch against 2.6.8-rc2 with the patch applied
