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.
This patch applies to Linus' 2.6 git tree and is intended for 2.6.21.
It should be applied ahead of any paravirt-ops changes in the -mm tree.
It must be reverted before applying the rest of the paravirt-ops queue
for 2.6.22, as it causes conflicts. An updated patch will be re-merged
after the queue.
Thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge for noting the bug and suggestions on a fix.
