[PATCH 1/2 v2] NOMMU: new vcoalesce helper function

From: Mike Frysinger
Date: Mon Mar 28 2011 - 03:03:38 EST


We can't support vmap on NOMMU systems, so add a new vcoalesce function
which combines maps via kmalloc. A bit more overhead, but at least it
works. For MMU systems, vcoalesce simply redirects to vmap.
