I'm dubious about this one.  I'm not sure of the utility of having 
include/asm-um be <include/asm>.  UML tries hard to look exactly like the
host, so having <include/asm> be include/asm-i386 works fine.

FWIW, I still have this one.  I looked at it a few weeks ago, late at night, 
and decided I wasn't in mental shape to reconstruct my understanding of how
that part of the switch works.

It's a real bug, correctly diagnosed.  The fix just needs to be different.

3. Patch to fix the COW bitmap size calculation bug :-)

I have this one, too.  Known bug, I think it requires a new COW version.
