    [PATCH] urgent rmap bugfix · 263399c6

    It turns out there was a subtle bug in Craig Kulesa's port of
    the rmap patch to 2.5, which is only apparent on non-x86 machines
    where pfn 0 isn't valid.
    
    The problem was that zap_pte_range() would clear the pte before
    page_remove_rmap() would get called. This means that on these
    machines the pte chain would never be removed and the machine
    would oops at page_alloc.c line 98...
    
    Thanks to Russell King for helping track down this bug.
