The following:

@@ -50,7 +50,6 @@

/* Don't look at this pte if it's been accessed recently. */
if (ptep_test_and_clear_young(page_table)) {
- flush_tlb_page(vma, address);
mark_page_accessed(page);
return 0;
}

is completely bogus. Without the tlb flush, the system may never update
the accessed bit on a page that is heavily being used.
