+Linux 2.6.11 on 64-bit x86 (x86_64) platforms does not use a guard
+page for the 47-bit address page to protect against an AMD K8 bug,
+which allows local users to cause a denial of service.

+Notes by Horms.

+2.6.13: not vulnerable
+2.6.12: not vulnerable
+2.6.8-sarge: not vulnerable
+2.6.8-sarge-security: not vulnerable
+2.4.27-sid/sarge: not vulnerable
