The most important change as VMA API removed ->nopage() in favour of ->fault() handler.
Mostly trivial changes :) and it works here. Mind you I run these patches on Core Duo 2 with
preempt enabled (0001 is important for this - preempt must be disabled when accessing
per CPU variables)

Forgot to mention that kernel and all userspace is 64bits, that is amd64.

It looks like the more relevant patches will have to be for Xen stuff since that's on by default in 2.6.26 for Ubuntu.

As there was no support for 2.6.26 in the 8-6 driver either, I'll add these (in some form) to the Intrepid package until support is added.

    - Bump standards version to 3.8.0.
    - Add fglrx-amdcccle to xorg-driver-fglrx Recommends

      determined by querying distro target in the changelog.
      -- Don't use packages not intended for your distro! --
