The second is zero bugfixing or cross-architecture testing activity
apart from my own. This and the first in conjunction cast serious
doubt upon and increase the need for heavy critical examination of
so-called ``consolidation'' patches.

OK lets get moving on the bug fixing. I know of one outstanding hugetlb
bug which is the one you have been working on.
Can we have a complete bug report on it so the rest of us can try to assist?

The one-sentence summary is that a triplefault causing machine reset
occurs while hugetlb is used during a long-running regression test for
the Oracle database on both EM64T and x86-64. Thus far attempts to
produce isolated testcases have not been successful. The test involves
duplicating a database across two database instances.

My current work on this consists largely of attempting to get access to
debugging equipment and/or simulators to carry out post-mortem analysis.
I've recently been informed that some of this will be provided to me.
