2.6.5-rc2-aa1

From: Andrea Arcangeli

This fixes MAP_SHARED|MAP_ANONYMOUS spotted by Jens and Martin, plus it
avoids vmware to crash (but it only warns about the missing VM_RESERVED
bitflag).

Changelog diff between 2.6.5-rc1-aa3 and 2.6.5-rc2-aa1:

Binary files 2.6.5-rc1-aa3/anon_vma.gz and 2.6.5-rc2-aa1/anon_vma.gz differ

Fixed silly bug in mmap(MAP_SHARED|MAP_ANONYMOUS) and converted a
BUG_ON to a WARN_ON if some device driver passes non-pageable pages
to the VM via ->nopage. VM_RESERVED it's not required with current
VM, so even if the WARN_ON triggers the machine remains completely
stable.

Only in 2.6.5-rc1-aa3: linus.patch.gz

Updated to 2.6.5-rc2 so not needed anymore.
