Please remind me of any bug-fixes or other improvements you think should go in.

Some versions of Xvesa offer the option;

*-map-holes*
use a contiguous (hole-less) memory map. This fixes a /*segmentation
violation */with some rare BIOSes that violate the VESA
specification, but may cause slightly higher memory usage on systems
that overcommit memory.

This does not seem to be available in BL3. It may solve some problems with older machines. I'm not sure what including this will require.

I am experiencing problems with segmentation faults with an AST Ascentia 950N notebook.
