Well, then export lmb_find_base(), and just sanitize the result codes over all LMB. That's not -that- hard, it's not like there were gazillion of users yet. I don't have time now to do that myself before monday.

Then make it inline inside the x86 stuff. But really, you should cleanup that result code. It's something on my TODO list for lmb that I haven't had a chance to do yet, so please look at that or wait til next week so I do it myself.
