This caught my eye, and I realize that I'm in the process of
sabotaging your work, or vice versa: sorry!

I've been eliminating drm/i915's calls to read_cache_page_gfp(),
while you've been adding them to staging/gma500. It still works in
3.0-rc, but if my further changes go through from mmotm to 3.1-rc,
then read_cache_page_gfp() on a shmem/tmpfs file will crash on the
lack of a readpage method (we could easily make it error instead
of crash, but you'd probably prefer something that actually works).

As example, below is the patch where I updated drm/i915 to be ready
for the changeover. They set __GFP_RECLAIMABLE on the mapping because
they've got a way to discard unpinned object pages when memory is tight;
and sometimes add in __GFP_NORETRY|__GFP_NOWARN when allocating.

I'm guessing you'd just want to use shmem_read_mapping_page() throughout,
after initializing mapping with the appropriate flags (GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE
is fs/inode.c's default: maybe your pages aren't easily movable and you'd
better say GFP_HIGHUSER, or maybe you have reason to need GFP_KERNEL).

drm/i915: use shmem_read_mapping_page

Soon tmpfs will stop supporting ->readpage and read_cache_page_gfp(): once
"tmpfs: add shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp" has been applied, this patch can
be applied to ease the transition.

Make i915_gem_object_get_pages_gtt() use shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() in
the one place it's needed; elsewhere use shmem_read_mapping_page(), with
the mapping's gfp_mask properly initialized.

Forget about __GFP_COLD: since tmpfs initializes its pages with memset,
asking for a cold page is counter-productive.

Include linux/shmem_fs.h also in drm_gem.c: with shmem_file_setup() now
declared there too, we shall remove the prototype from linux/mm.h later.
