We have been experiencing some problems with a 3.1-stable machine with 192M
of RAM and 900M swap.  The crashes seem to be related to NFS, but it is
very eratic (oh, did I mention maxusers is 320?).  Needless to say, we
think the problem may be the KVA problem that has walked arround here abit
lately.  I have the patches from Tor Egge.  I noticed that some of the
patches are optional.  For example, we don't need to make a change to pmap.h
since we can do the same with 'options "NKPDE=126"'.  However there are also
changes to the kernel's load address (0xf0100000 -> 0xe0100000).  Are these
changes mandatory as well?  (I am assuming they are, but we don't want to make
changes to source files that CVS is going to blast.).
