latest Parallels Virtuozzo Containers kernel update,
CU-2.6.9-023stab051.12.

DESCRIPTION

* Fix sys_readahead and sys_fadvise64 compatibility system calls on amd64.

Several 32-bit compatibility-mode syscalls did not properly pass
64-bit arguments from userspace into the kernel on 64-bit platforms.


* Several bugs in handling of loopback devices.

Fix several bugs related to the handling of adding and deleting
addresses to the loopback device, including a potential deadlock.
