Zachary Amsden 49f1971051 [PATCH] Proper fix for highmem kmap_atomic functions for VMI for 2.6.21
Since lazy MMU batching mode still allows interrupts to enter, it is
possible for interrupt handlers to try to use kmap_atomic, which fails when
lazy mode is active, since the PTE update to highmem will be delayed.  The
best workaround is to issue an explicit flush in kmap_atomic_functions
case; this is the only way nested PTE updates can happen in the interrupt
handler.

Thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge for noting the bug and suggestions on a fix.

This patch gets reverted again when we start 2.6.22 and the bug gets fixed
differently.
