This series makes further progress in converting usage of the deprecated vm_flags_t type to its replacement, vma_flags_t. It focuses on mm, though updates some users of mm APIs also. It updates: * The core do_mmap() code path for VMA mapping. * Unmapped area logic. * The usage of mm->def_vma_flags. * VMA page protection bit logic. * General usage of VMA flags in core mm code, mlock, mprotect, mremap.
