Really? None of you use any modern CPU's, or you're _all_ running 32-bit distros even though your cpu's could support 64-bit ones?
I would suggest at least _somebody_ in the intel graphics team try to get with the times.. I realize that Otellini was saying "Nobody needs 64-bit on the desktop" a few years ago, but he was full of sh*t then, and it's certainly not remotely true now.
It's not being disloyal to your CEO, really. I'm pretty sure nobody will be fired just for ignoring that whole "640kB^H^H^H^H^H32-bits should be enough for everybody" idiocy.

oops, yes. Thinko. I reversed the meaning of the return value: at first I just returned "unwritten", but decided that that was a really ugly interface, and then when I prettied that up, I didn't fix the !HIGHMEM case. And I obviously never _tested_ it.
