[PATCH] ppc highmem fix

[Paolo Galtieri <pgaltieri@mvista.com>]

I've noticed that the calculations for seg_size and nr_segs in
__dma_sync_page_highmem() (arch/ppc/kernel/dma-mapping.c) are wrong.
The incorrect calculations can result in either an oops or a panic when
running fsck depending on the size of the partition.  The problem with
the
seg_size calculation is that it can result in a negative number if size
is offset > size.  The problem with the nr_segs caculation is returns
the
wrong number of segments, e.g. it returns 1 when size is 200 and offset
is 4095, when it should return 2 or more.

Here is the patch to fix the problem.
