SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/2] ttm: Fix ttm in-kernel copying of pages with non-standard caching attributes.
Hi,

since I see this patch in Linus' tree, and I likely have to patch
TTM in Nouveau's compat-branch to compile with older kernels,
I have a question below.

(The Nouveau kernel tree's compat branch offers drm.ko, ttm.ko and
nouveau.ko to be built against kernels 2.6.28 and later.)

What are the implications of choosing the non-CONFIG_X86 path
even on x86?

Is kmap_atomic_prot() simply an optimization allowed by the x86
arch, and the alternate way also works, although it uses the
precious vmalloc address space?

Since kmap_atomic_prot() is not exported on earlier kernels,
I'm tempted to just do the non-CONFIG_X86 path.
