Comment 30 for bug 684304

It seems that despite the claim alloc_from_botttom does not completely restore the old allocation scheme (the assigned addresses still are top down, though lower than without). And there is currently some discussion going on about this on the mailing list. I picked two patches floating there and I am preparing kernels. As soon as the machine is available from other tests I would like to try this (also need to gain some other access rights, though).
