Quotes of the week

In any case, we'll continue to use the fact that mprotect is also broken to get our WC mapping working (using mprotect PROT_NONE followed by mprotect PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE causes the CD and WT bits to get cleared). We're fortunate in this case that we've found a bug to exploit that gives us the desired behaviour.

-- Andrew Morton

-- Ingo Molnar
