Zander released a patch a few days ago to a fix a problem with kernel versions 2.6.11 and above to fix a problem with the implementation of the global_flush_tlb() kernel interface on x86_64. Apparently it should be fixed in kernel 2.6.14 but until then we need this patch.

Created attachment 71138 [details, diff] Zanders patch
Created attachment 71139 [details] Ebuild that uses the patch This is just an ebuild I made that applies the patch. It seems to work fine but a developer might want to look at how I did it to make sure I did it correctly(lines 100-107).
This should be fixed in 7676-r1. Please repoen if that is not the case.
