Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3] Add mmap(MAP_CONTIG) support

The following is a 'possible' way to add such functionality.  I just
did what was easy and pre-allocated contiguous pages which are used
to populate the mapping.  I did not use any of the higher order
allocators such as alloc_contig_range.  Therefore, it is limited to
allocations of MAX_ORDER size.  Also, the allocations should probably
be done outside mmap_sem but that was the easiest place to do it in
this quick and easy POC.

I just wanted to throw out some code to get further ideas.  It is far
from complete.

Mike Kravetz (3):
  mm/map_contig: Add VM_CONTIG flag to vma struct
  mm/map_contig: Use pre-allocated pages for VM_CONTIG mappings
  mm/map_contig: Add mmap(MAP_CONTIG) support
