[41/41] Mmap support using pte PAGE_SIZE mappings

From: Christoph Lameter
Date: Tue Sep 11 2007 - 02:22:51 EST

This is realized by mmapping base page size (4k on x86) of the potentially
larger page. Mmap semantics are not changed and therefore the large buffers
can be handled by userspace as if files consisted of 4k pages (as it is
now). The use of large buffersizes can therefore be fully transparent to user
space.

Details:
- Modify the rmap functions (try_to_unmap, page_referenced and page_mkclean)
to interate over all base pages of a large buffer to get all ptes
that may point to a larger buffer.

- Change vm_fault logic in __do_fault() and filemap_fault() to convert from
4k pte logic into a pointer to the page of the large buffer and an
index to the basepage in that large buffer.

- Fix up the memory policy address scan to skip tail pages of large buffers.

- Fix up page migration to allow the moving of large buffers.

Tested by formatting a 32k ext2 filesystem, booting off it and building
a kernel.
