Subject: [git pull] Please pull powerpc.git merge branch

Hi Linus !

This is the patch that I had sent after -rc8 and which we decided
to wait before merging. It's based on a different tree than my
-next branch (it needs some pre-reqs that were in -rc4 or so while
my -next is based on -rc1) so I left it as a separate branch for
your to pull. It's identical to the request I did 2 or 3 weeks back.

This fixes crashes in mremap with THP on powerpc.

The fix however requires a small change in the generic code. It moves a
condition into a helper we can override from the arch which is harmless,
but it *also* slightly changes the order of the set_pmd and the withdraw
& deposit, which should be fine according to Kirill (who wrote that
code) but I agree -rc8 is a bit late...

It was acked by Kirill and Andrew told me to just merge it via powerpc.

Cheers,
Ben.
