Thanks for the review and additional fixes. See my comments below.

mm/filemap.c uses unsigned long for variables used to identify an offset
into a single page. That's what I'm tempted to use for offset_in_page,
rather than loff_t.

unsigned long should work for start_offset_in_page and num_bytes, too.
