The patch attached at the bottom of this mail went into 2.6.7bk11.

It's an incompatability with the 4g/4g patch, and hence doesn't need
to go upstream. It seems to be a valid change, so the quick fix for
now is to just drop it as part of the 4g/4g patch.

#   [PATCH] larger IO bitmaps
#   
#   The previous discussion was started here:
#   http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0211.0/0477.html but in 2.4
#   times this was kind of problematic.
#   
#   Now, with the lazy bitmap allocation and per-CPU TSS, this will really not
#   drain any resources I think.  8K TSS increase and 8K per process *that does
#   ioperm()* - I think it is not very bad.
#   
#   The reasons why I need that, are described in the URL above.  Basically this
#   will allow to use full-screen VESA under dosemu (without LFB though), and this
#   may be also helpfull for the XFree project and some other projects:
