[PATCH 15/20] mm, powerpc: Move the RCU page-table freeing into generic code
From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Mon Oct 18 2010 - 07:35:41 EST
In case other architectures require RCU freed page-tables to implement
gup_fast() and software filled hashes and similar things, provide the
means to do so by moving the logic into generic code.
