[PATCH v2 8/9] ia64: perfmon: Don't mark buffer pages as PG_reserved

[David Hildenbrand]

In the old days, remap_pfn_range() required pages to be marked as
PG_reserved, so they would e.g. never get swapped out. This was required
for special mappings. Nowadays, this is fully handled via the VMA
(VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP inside remap_pfn_range()
to be precise). PG_reserved is no longer required but only a relict from
the past.

So only architecture specific MM handling might require it (e.g. to
detect them as MMIO pages). As there are no architecture specific checks
for PageReserved() apart from MCA handling in ia64code, this can go. Use
simple vzalloc()/vfree() instead.

Note that before calling vzalloc(), size has already been aligned to
PAGE_SIZE, no need to align again.
