You can (at least) get it from my homepage at
http://www.fys.ruu.nl/~riel, and maybe from Zlatko's
homepage (if he has one).
It is a patch that makes sure that there are at least
min_free_pages/2 pages in 4-page chunks available...
This way kernel functions (network, soundcard) can always
allocate (at least) 16kb chunks of memory. This solves
quite some crashes...
