[PATCH] rmap 12 pgtable remove rmap
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Remove the support for pte_chain rmap from page table initialization, just continue to maintain nr_page_table_pages (but only for user page tables - it also counted vmalloc page tables before, little need, and I'm unsure if per-cpu stats are safe early enough on all arches). mm/memory.c is the only core file affected. But ppc and ppc64 have found the old rmap page table initialization useful to support their ptep_test_and_clear_young: so transfer rmap's initialization to them (even on kernel page tables? well, okay).
