It's legitimate. That change was supposed to be a no-op.
Thanks for reporting.

Seems to me that there's a missing pte_unmap_lock() in insert_page().
Also, a hunk in do_anonymous_page() is indented one tabstop too far, which
makes me suspect that patch(1) might have put it in the wrong place.
Balbir, can you please check that?
