69e1e688f5 [PATCH] uml: don't redundantly mark pte as newpage in pte_modify
pte_modify marks a page as needing flush, which is redundant because the
resulting PTE is still set with set_pte, which already handles that.

d99c4022f6 [PATCH] uml: inline mk_pte and various friends
Turns out that, for UML, a *lot* of VM-related trivial functions are not
inlined but rather normal functions.

In other sections of UML code, this is justified by having files which
interact with the host and cannot therefore include kernel headers, but in
this case there's no such justification.

I've had to turn many of them to macros because of missing declarations. While
doing this, I've decided to reuse some already existing macros.

08964c565b [PATCH] uml: merge duplicated page table code
There is a lot of code which is duplicated between the 2 and 3 level
implementation, with the only difference that the 3-level implementation is a
bit more generalized (instead of accessing directly pte_t.pte, it uses the
appropriate access macros).

So this code is joined together.

As obvious, a "core code nice cleanup" is not a "stability-friendly patch" so
usual care applies.

9b4ee40ebb [PATCH] mm: correct _PAGE_FILE comment
_PAGE_FILE does not indicate whether a file is in page / swap cache, it is
set just for non-linear PTE's.  Correct the comment for i386, x86_64, UML.
Also clearify _PAGE_NONE.

8e21683bb4 [PATCH] uml: remove jail mode + other leftovers
This var is currently useless, as it's apparent from reading the code. Until
2.6.11 it was used in some code related to jail mode, in the same proc.:

        if(jail){
		while(!reading) sched_yield();
	}

jail mode has been dropped, together with that use, so let's finish dropping
this.

Also, remove some other useless definitions I met.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
