Or not. ;-) This commit breaks boot on my MacBookAir3,1:
commit 8d57470d8f859635deffe3919d7d4867b488b85a Author: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Date: Fri Nov 16 19:38:58 2012 -0800
x86, mm: setup page table in top-down
Get pgt_buf early from BRK, and use it to map PMD_SIZE from top at first. Then use mapped pages to map more ranges below, and keep looping until all pages get mapped.
Being a 64-bit apple-EFI machine, it probably runs through an obscure path in this patch. I wish I had more vital information, but I get the white screen of death, so not much to go on so far.
Henrik
