Hi David,
Thanks for taking a look at this problem.
The git checkin fixes the problem for ia64.
The arm machine is using a kernel from the linus torvald's git repo. This particular kernel doesn't have utrace support in it, so it doesn't have CONFIG_UTRACE set. Thus, things still fail in the same way on the ARM machine.
Does this code work with stock x86_64 kernel? I am wondering why this problem wasn't seen on the x86 machine. Does the x86 not need to do the explicit flushes unlike the ia64 and ARM?
