need to use __PAGE_OFFSET instead of PAGE_OFFSET in the TASK_SIZE definition to escape the explicit unsigned long cast. This just works because __PAGE_OFFSET is defined using _AC itself and thus never needs the cast anyway.Shouldn't this be folded into the prior patch so there's no bisection problem?
I didn't see a problem bisecting, do you have something particular in mind?
