  Thank you so much for doing this.  I was going to do this myself but
  had to leave the office.  Hopefully Jeff will have a chance to take a
  look at it otherwise I`ll be glancing at it tomorrow.  Also, it would
  be nice if those suffering from recent problems with kmem_map
  exhaustion on 5.1 try this and note whether or not it gets rid of your
  panics.
