Linus Torvalds 6aab341e0a mm: re-architect the VM_UNPAGED logic
This replaces the (in my opinion horrible) VM_UNMAPPED logic with very
explicit support for a "remapped page range" aka VM_PFNMAP.  It allows a
VM area to contain an arbitrary range of page table entries that the VM
never touches, and never considers to be normal pages.

Any user of "remap_pfn_range()" automatically gets this new
functionality, and doesn't even have to mark the pages reserved or
indeed mark them any other way.  It just works.  As a side effect, doing
mmap() on /dev/mem works for arbitrary ranges.

Sparc update from David in the next commit.
