VM: add "vm_insert_page()" function 



This is what a lot of drivers will actually want to use to insert
individual pages into a user VMA.  It doesn't have the old PageReserved
restrictions of remap_pfn_range(), and it doesn't complain about partial
remappings.

The page you insert needs to be a nice clean kernel allocation, so you
can't insert arbitrary page mappings with this, but that's not what
people want.

/*

 * This allows drivers to insert individual pages they've allocated

 *

 * The page has to be a nice clean _individual_ kernel allocation.

 * If you allocate a compound page, you need to have marked it as

 * such (__GFP_COMP), or manually just split the page up yourself

 * (which is mainly an issue of doing "set_page_count(page, 1)" for

 * each sub-page, and then freeing them one by one when you free

 * them rather than freeing it as a compound page).

 *

 * NOTE! Traditionally this was done with "remap_pfn_range()" which

 * took an arbitrary page protection parameter. This doesn't allow

 * that. Your vma protection will have to be set up correctly, which

 * means that if you want a shared writable mapping, you'd better

 * ask for a shared writable mapping!

 *

 * The page does not need to be reserved.
