Sumit,

I did not see a follow up on this series per your last email.[1]  I'd like to
move forward with getting rid of kmap_to_page().  So Hopefully this can land
and you can build on this rather than the other way around?

All,

Al Viro found[2] that kmap_to_page() is broken.  But not only is it broken, it
presents confusion over how highmem should be used because kmap() and friends
should not be used for 'long term' mappings.

get_kernel_pages() is a caller of kmap_to_page().  It only has one caller
[shm_get_kernel_pages()] which does not need the functionality.

Alter shm_get_kernel_pages() to no longer call get_kernel_pages() and remove
get_kernel_pages().  Along the way it was noted that shm_get_kernel_pages()
does not have any need to support vmalloc'ed addresses either.  Remove that
functionality to clean up the logic.

This series also fixes is_kmap_addr() and uses it to ensure no kmap addresses
slip in later.
