Hi,

Yup, this is the right list - well either this or lkml.

IIUC you're saying you tested this on a 64-bit x86.  That is
in fact not yet supported.  With Oren's patchset, you can
only use x86_32.  (With the patch I sent last week, you could
also do s390x.)  Support for x86_64 shouldn't take much work -
I think Dave was going to see about such a port, and Oren
may have one at the ready, but you could also do it yourself
if you're so inclined.
