[PATCH 2/6] freepgt2: sys_mincore ignore FIRST_USER_PGD_NR

From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Wed Apr 06 2005 - 20:18:24 EST


Remove use of FIRST_USER_PGD_NR from sys_mincore: it's inconsistent (no
other syscall refers to it), unnecessary (sys_mincore loops over vmas
further down) and incorrect (misses user addresses in ARM's first pgd).
