Linus Torvalds edd7ab7684 The new preemtible kmap_local() implementation:
- Consolidate all kmap_atomic() internals into a generic implementation
     which builds the base for the kmap_local() API and make the
     kmap_atomic() interface wrappers which handle the disabling/enabling of
     preemption and pagefaults.
 
   - Switch the storage from per-CPU to per task and provide scheduler
     support for clearing mapping when scheduling out and restoring them
     when scheduling back in.
 
   - Merge the migrate_disable/enable() code, which is also part of the
     scheduler pull request. This was required to make the kmap_local()
     interface available which does not disable preemption when a mapping
     is established. It has to disable migration instead to guarantee that
     the virtual address of the mapped slot is the same accross preemption.
 
   - Provide better debug facilities: guard pages and enforced utilization
     of the mapping mechanics on 64bit systems when the architecture allows
     it.
 
   - Provide the new kmap_local() API which can now be used to cleanup the
     kmap_atomic() usage sites all over the place. Most of the usage sites
     do not require the implicit disabling of preemption and pagefaults so
     the penalty on 64bit and 32bit non-highmem systems is removed and quite
     some of the code can be simplified. A wholesale conversion is not
     possible because some usage depends on the implicit side effects and
     some need to be cleaned up because they work around these side effects.
 
     The migrate disable side effect is only effective on highmem systems
     and when enforced debugging is enabled. On 64bit and 32bit non-highmem
     systems the overhead is completely avoided.
