Problems with dual Opteron and arla-0.36pre29

[Harald Barth]

Still blind flight on my side. But I saw now other reactions...

I think I added this flag to the flags which are used to compile
the nnpfs kernel module:

habariff:haba$ grep mcmodel /afs/stacken.kth.se/ftp/pub/arla/random-patches/opteron-against-0.36pre29.patch 
+    KERNEL_CFLAGS="${KERNEL_CFLAGS} -mcmodel=kernel" ;;

If your compiler does not support or ignores that flag, you may need
to use another compiler (kgcc? Other version?). Check that the nnpfs
stuff really is compiled with that flag.

Strange. At least the compiler that compiles your kernel should
use that memory model on an x86-64.

Harald.
