The ATI wrapper source is carefully "#if 0"ing a get_page because of the
traditional anomalous behaviour of PageReserved.  2.6.15-rc killed that
anomalous behaviour, so their "#if 0" needs to become a version test.

Big thanks to Martin Drab for testing this (and correcting the stupidity
of my original inverted patch) - tell us if it does not work for you too.

Luca, can you bump this up your todo list please?

This is one of the only remaining 2.6.15 stable blockers and I'd rather not ignore you and mark it stable anyway. There is a patch at the URL.

Patch for 8.20 and 8.21 is in portage from bug 119462. Thanks.
