Something to do with the 4-level page table support added in kernel 
2.6.11.  Sorry, that doesn't help you much!

I've added the information to bug #170 
<https://cvs.comedi.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=170>.  The 
workaround for i386 architecture is to avoid configuring 64GB high 
memory support in the kernel, but I don't know if there's a workaround 
for x86_64.

I'd volunteer to fix it, but I don't understand the virtual memory code!
