The XPFO [1] patchset may unmap pages from physmap if they happened to be
destined for userspace. If such a page is unmapped, it needs to be
remapped. Rather than test if a page is in the highmem/xpfo unmapped state,
Christoph suggested [2] that we simply always map the page.
v2: * drop comment about bounce buffer
* don't save IRQs before kmap/unmap
* formatting

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
