Thanks, I missed that BUG_ON and could not prove, that we can call only
from a task context, thus decided not to make it strict.  Of course
simple __vunmap() is much better.  The other reason is that we call a
spin_lock without disabling the interrupts.  Now I see.

Andrew, may I resend just an updated version of this patch?
