-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Linus Torvalds This reverts commit 99a10a60ba9bedcf5d70ef81414d3e03816afa3f. As per Hugh Dickins: "Nadia Derbey has reported that mmap of /dev/kmem no longer works with the kernel virtual address as offset, and Franck has confirmed that his patch came from a misunderstanding of what an offset means to /dev/kmem - whereas his patch description seems to say that he was correcting the offset on a few plaforms, there was no such problem to correct, and his patch was in fact changing its API on all platforms."
