3.16.59-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com
commit 9b4bdd2ffab9557ac43af7dff02e7dab1c8c58bd upstream.
We don't create non-linear mappings anymore. Let's drop code which handles them on page fault.
