Subject: x86 warnings in arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:560

Hi,

I've been getting this warning intermittently since the merge window
opened. Considering that track_pfn_vma_new is called before the ptes
are set up in remap_pfn_range (and remap_pfn_range contains a warning
if the ptes *are* nonzero), I don't know how this is supposed to work?

Anyway, I can of course test patches.
