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

------------------

From: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org>

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?

It allows the next one (commit dbda591d920b4c7692725b13e3f68ecb251e9080,
'mm: fix faulty initialization in vmalloc_init()') apply cleanly.  So,
unless it causes some harm, I'll keep it.

Ben.
