3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit db1aecafef58b5dda39c4228debe2c845e4a27ab upstream.

vmap_area->private is void* but we don't use the field for various purpose
but use only for vm_struct.  So change it to a vm_struct* with naming to
improve for readability and type checking.

I'm not sure this is stable material and it wasn't annotated as such when 
it was commited, why should someone need to upgrade their 3.2 for a patch 
like this?
