Subject: [PATCHv2 0/2] remap_file_pages() decommission

Hi Andrew and Linus,

These two patches demonstrate how we can get rid nonlinear mappings.

The first patch documents remap_file_pages(2) deprecation and add printk
into syscall code. The patch could be propagated through stable kernel if
the approach with remap_file_pages() emulation is okay.

The second patch replaces remap_file_pages(2) with and emulation. I didn't
find any real code (apart LTP) to test it on. So I wrote simple test case.
See commit message for numbers.

I will prepare separate patchset to cleanup all nonlinear mappings
leftovers if the approach with emulation is desirable.

Comments?

  mm: mark remap_file_pages() syscall as deprecated
  mm: replace remap_file_pages() syscall with emulation
