[PATCH] vmalloc address offset fix
From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Paul wrote a patch to use some of the rmap infrastructure to flush TLB entries on ppc64. When testing it we found a problem in vmalloc where it sets up the pte -> address mapping incorrectly. We clear the top bits of the address but then forget to pass in the full address to pte_alloc_kernel. The end result is the address in page->index is truncated. I fixed it in a similar way to how zeromap_pmd_range etc does it. I'm guessing no one uses the rmap hooks on vmalloc pages yet, so havent seen this problem.
