In case this wasn't clear, please remove the whole printk. And don't
forget to CC lkml on your submissions. CCed now.

Got it, sent a v3 with the printk removed.
Anyway, I wonder if we can remove the 'size' argument and/or moving
set_real_mode_mem() into realmode.h to have it inlined.
Or maybe it's not worth it.

Sure, why not. Making the code simpler is always a GoodThing(tm). :)
