Hello,
The interrupt stack can be in the __START_KERNEL_map region in which
virt_to_page will not work. This caused ppp_mppe to crash on CentOS 5 on x86_64
(http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2076).
The fix is to avoid copying the interim key. We can simply use it in its
original place, which is kmalloc'd.
Michal

Needs a Signed-off-by: line, but otherwise, looks good, and even saves
some stack space. Thanks for tracking this down.

Sorry about the forgotten sign-off. Here it is.
