And here's my attempt at a backport to 3.2.89, at last.
I know it builds and boots and runs on x86 64 and 32,
but that's about all that I've tried.

If you diff against yours (I preferred not to send that diff,
because of the couple of rejects in yours against 3.2.89),
you'll find most of the difference is just noise from where
I used a variable, but you had not yet done so in yours.

But there are those three missing files, and there are a few
places where I have a little "if (prev) {" block at the head of
the loop after find_vma_prev(): I think those loops start off
wrongly without that.

I notice now that you don't use find_vma_prev() in your generic
(mm/mmap.c) arch_get_unmapped_area() and _topdown(): and now
that I reflect on it, I think you're perfectly correct to keep
those simple (especially given the inefficient implementation
of find_vma_prev() in 3.2 - only later was it changed to make
use of vm_prev), since both ia64 and parisc provide their own
arch_get_unmapped_area() in this release, and neither use the
_topdown().

Whereas I spent much too much time on adapting those generics
to vm_end_gap(), and pretty much gave up on the _topdown() -
it grieved me to end up calling find_vma_prev() each time
around the loop (where before it called find_vma() each time
around the loop), there is definitely better use to be made
of vm_prev there, but too hard to get right as I grew tired.

So please at least take a look through the diff from yours, I
think you'll find a few things to bring in, but a lot to ignore.

Hugh
