Andrew, the patch has been reworked.

Subject: [PATCH] hugetlb: drop prev_vma in hugetlb_get_unmapped_area_topdown()

After the call find_vma_prev(mm, addr, &prev_vma), the following condition
is always true:

	!prev_vma || (addr >= prev_vma->vm_end)

it can happily drop prev_vma and use find_vma() instead of find_vma_prev().
