Do we need `offset' at all?

Looks like no.

I wonder if there's a good argument for adding a pte_offset_val() which
would let us do:

pteval = pte_offset_val(pmd, addr);

and shrink the map/unmap window and overhead here and possibly
elsewhere?

Anyway, updated but still untested patch now with revealing comment:

I patched the ppc32 kernel with this and run tests on /proc.
This patch helps. No more BUGs and oopses :)

Thanks, Andrew's already queued it up.
