mm: merge populate and nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear) 



Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes
the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings.

->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code
should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping.  The hitch here
is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie.  pgoff).
 But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function
calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation).

Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing
to be doing.

This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and
->populate and (later) ->nopfn.  Most of the old mechanism is still in place
so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if
everyone switches over.

The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are
subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid
to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two.

After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in
pagecache.  Seems like a fringe functionality anyway.

NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed.  This should be implemented with ->fault, and no
users have hit mainline yet.

What:	filemap_nopage, filemap_populate

When:	April 2007

Why:	These legacy interfaces no longer have any callers in the kernel and

	any functionality provided can be provided with filemap_fault. The

	removal schedule is short because they are a big maintainence burden

	and have some bugs.

What:	vm_ops.nopage

When:	February 2008, provided in-kernel callers have been converted

Why:	This interface is replaced by vm_ops.fault, but it has been around

	forever, is used by a lot of drivers, and doesn't cost much to

	maintain.
