I've seen that Qu sent a v2 of the above patch. However David thinks that
it is better not to map pages allocated in zlib.c for output (out_page)
since they cannot come from highmem because of "alloc_page(GFP_NOFS);".
@David:
I suppose that, since it builds _only_ on top of the refactor submitted by
Qu, I'll have to wait and see what you decide.
If you don't want kmap_local_page() and prefer using page_address() on
"out_page", please drop this patch and let me know, so that I can send a
new patch which will be in accordance to your preference.
Thanks,
Fabio
