Witold has found that I screwed up the highmem case in this patch.
Please add the commit appended at the bottom - or else delay both
until the next 2.6.33-longterm if you prefer.
Thanks,

tmpfs: fix highmem swapoff crash regression
Commit 778dd893ae78 ("tmpfs: fix race between umount and swapoff")
forgot the new rules for strict atomic kmap nesting, causing
WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/highmem_32.c:81
from __kunmap_atomic(), then
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffb9000
from shmem_swp_set() when shmem_unuse_inode() is handling swapoff with
highmem in use. My disgrace again.
