[PATCH] nonlinear oddities

1. Revert MAP_NONLINEAR and VM_NONLINEAR: I can easily imagine wanting
VM_NONLINEAR in future, warning that vma is unusual, but currently it's
not useful: install_page just needs to SetPageAnon if the page is put
somewhere try_to_unmap_obj_one wouldn't be able to find it.

2. filemap_populate and shmem_populate expect an absolute pgoff, but
try_to_unmap_one is forgetting to add in vm_pgoff when doing set_pte.
Could be done the other way round, with relative pgoff in the pte?
No, that would make splitting a vma tedious.

3. No patch included, but I believe 2.5.64-mm1 is testing Ingo's
file-offset-in-pte very much less than you imagine (I've yet to hit
a breakpoint on do_file_page, and I don't think that's down to the
patches above): Dave's work means that the file pages don't arrive
at Ingo's code to set the pte with file offset (unless you actually
use Ingo's syscall) - difficult to test both at once, I think.
