This avoids various problems on Xeons which currently have only 36bits. We use the tested code from 2.6 as replacement, so this should be fairly safe. Thanks to Philip Pokorny for a lot of investigation on this issue. I ended up redoing his patch so all blame to me.

Handle MM going away in context switch. Fix a long standing bug lazy TLB handling on x86-64. When switching to a lazy TLB thread we must handle the race of the mm currently going away. If that's the case always load the page tables of the next process. This way we avoid having freed page tables in a CPU's TLB, which can lead to machine checks in some situations on Opteron. Credit goes to some anonymous AMD debugging wizards who tracked down the problem. I did the fix. All blame to me.

Revert to -EIO in that case.

This ID is > already present in Linux 2.6 Daniel, thank you for the patch, it seems fine. I have it in RHEL 3 U5. I didn't post it before because I thought nobody cared about enhancements to 2.4 anymore except enterprise users with legacy hardware. Knowing Marcelo though, I expect this to be bumped to 2.4.31.
