We've replaced remap_file_pages(2) implementation with emulation.
Nobody creates non-linear mapping anymore.

Nice, once this is upstream I can free up one of the software bits in
the pte by redefining the type bits. Right now all of them are used up.
Is the removal of non-linear mappings a done deal ?
Yes, if no horrible regression will be reported. We don't create
non-linear mapping in -mm (and -next) tree for a few release cycles.
Nobody complained so far.

Ack?
Yes, ack!
