Oh, is there something wrong with it?  You mean this one, right?

Subject: [PATCH] Avoid page_set_flags() assert in qemu-user host page
 protection code

 I first tried to replace the endaddr in the !h2g_valid(endaddr) case with
	((abi_ulong)1 << L1_MAP_ADDR_SPACE_BITS) - 1
if TARGET_ABI_BITS > L1_MAP_ADDR_SPACE_BITS (which comes from the condition
of the assert in page_set_flags() that was triggered on the ~0ul value),
but that caused the qemu process to grow into swap and made the box
usuable when that code was reached and I had to kill qemu.  (The box has
8 GB RAM.)  And so I thought just leaving that page range unprotected
if only the start address is valid was the lesser evil...

 ..and thanx for committing the other ones, :)
