Subject: [PATCH 2.5.41] New version of shared page tables


Attached is the next version of my shared page tables patch. It's had a
few bugs fixed which were found by Bill Irwin. I've also added an
exit-time optimization that eliminates some unnecessary pte unsharing.
This was intended to be in the first patch, but I missed it.

As usual, all useful feedback is welcome.

This patch is against 2.5.41.

Does fine here with that fix and current version vs. -mm + manfred's
slabfix.
