Subject: [PATCH 2.6.27.2] datagram handling routines : mapping/unmapping paged data in soft IRQ

Kernel crashes when a network module tries to copy a datagram to iovec in soft IRQ with paged data.
The problem is that kunmap function can't be called in IRQ.
All calls to kmap/kunmap fonctions are replaced by calls to kmap_skb_frag/kunmap_skb_frag when paged data are involved.
