In attempting to apply the bigphysarea-2.0.32 patch to a 2.0.33 kernel, I found one minor problem that you might want to be aware of. When building after patching the source, I got a warning about bigphysarea_init() being undeclared in init/main.c. I noticed that you explicitly declare bigphysarea_setup() if the #ifdef in main.c instead of just including <linux/bigphysarea.h>, which seemed like the right thing to do, so I changed init/main.c to do that and got rid of the warning. The 2.0.33 kernel with the bigphysarea-2.0.32 patch in it seems happy, though I have to wait for feedback from the user who was planning on installing the framegrabber to see if it crashes. FYI, this is 2.0.33 with some patches for our use here at CMU:
