[PATCH] unpaged: private write VM_RESERVED
The PageReserved removal in 2.6.15-rc1 issued a "deprecated" message when you
tried to mmap or mprotect MAP_PRIVATE PROT_WRITE a VM_RESERVED, and failed
with -EACCES: because do_wp_page lacks the refinement to COW pages in those
areas, nor do we expect to find anonymous pages in them; and it seemed just
bloat to add code for handling such a peculiar case. But immediately it
caused vbetool and ddcprobe (using lrmi) to fail.
So revert the "deprecated" messages, letting mmap and mprotect succeed. But
leave do_wp_page's BUG_ON(vma->vm_flags & VM_RESERVED) in place until we've
added the code to do it right: so this particular patch is only good if the
app doesn't really need to write to that private area.
