mtrr and ioctl - will patch help?

[Jim Cornette]

I was reading up on mtrr and ioctl because of a problem that I have with 
starting X up when my computer is first booted. Google brought up this post.
Subject	PATCH: fix bogus ioctl return in mtrr

This is fairly self explanatory - ENOIOCTLCMD is an internal code 
outside of the -1 to -511 range. The correct return for an unknown ioctl 
is -ENOTTY
although some Linux devices return the incorrect -EINVAL result.

My trouble seems to be with my video memory taking a long time to set up 
correctly.

Anyway, is there going to be a patched kernel soon to test?
