Hi Peter,

I'm sorry I missed that. Many thanks. In addition, do you have any other
objedtions to the code? Andrew already added the patches to the -mm tree.
Andrew, should I post a follow up patch adding the vmalloc.h include or is it
possible to fix it directly as you did for the previous patches? 
Again I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Many thanks
