Say, it looks like at some point in the past, an alternate approach was looked at for reserving special addresses: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2255 If that kernel issue were resolved, would that let us get rid of the preloader?
Not really, we'd still need to support older kernels, and the preloader is more flexible anyway. Why would you want to get rid of it? We haven't had any trouble with it for a long time.
Might that fix our problem with the VM limitation for video drivers?
