So it works with my updated patch, but not with the uma & reserved
patches?  Or does it not work at all?  Does it still work with your
previous patch set?

Could you send a full log with the last working version and the first
broken version from this list?

1. Your original patches
2. 5799 + my board patch
3. 2 + uma.diff
4. 3 + reserved.diff

uma.diff & reserved.diff should be independent, so you could try
2+reserved.diff also

I attached an updated patch that should apply to 5800 if that's easier/better.

Thanks,
Myles
