[PATCH] i386: PARAVIRT: add kmap_atomic_pte for mapping highpte pages
Xen and VMI both have special requirements when mapping a highmem pte
page into the kernel address space. These can be dealt with by adding
a new kmap_atomic_pte() function for mapping highptes, and hooking it
into the paravirt_ops infrastructure.
Xen specifically wants to map the pte page RO, so this patch exposes a
helper function, kmap_atomic_prot, which maps the page with the
specified page protections.
This also adds a kmap_flush_unused() function to clear out the cached
kmap mappings. Xen needs this to clear out any potential stray RW
mappings of pages which will become part of a pagetable.
[ Zach - vmi.c will need some attention after this patch. It wasn't
immediately obvious to me what needs to be done. ]
