Hello Mark,
Thank you for looking again on r194459.

I've tried to compile kernel using your patch with
changes regarding PG_WRITABLE and arm_unmap_nocache(),
but it didn't help.

My problems are rather related to memory corruption, which
I've observed in uma_core (pointers had bad values and
count of free items in slab had negative value).

I am still concerned about LOR, which has appeared in
svn commit r194459 (I wrote about it in my first mail).
Could you take a look at this LOR?

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,
Michał Hajduk
