[PATCH] sync get_user_pages with 2.4
Forward port of get_user_pages() change from 2.4. - If the vma is marked as VM_IO area then fail the map. This prevents kernel deadlocks which occur when applications which have frame buffers mapped try to dump core. Also prevents a kernel oops when a debugger is attached to a process which has an IO mmap. - Check that the mapped page is inside mem_map[] (pfn_valid). - inline follow_page() and remove the preempt_disable()s. It has only a single callsite and is called under spinloclk.
