Andrew/Linus, please apply,
Commit 7d24f0b8a53261709938ffabe3e00f88f6498df9 fixed bugs in the
ppc64 SLB miss handler with respect to hugepage handling, and in the
process tweaked the semantics of the hugepage address masks in
mm_context_t. Unfortunately, it left out a couple of necessary
changes to go with that change. First, the in_hugepage_area() macro
was not updated to match, second prepare_hugepage_range() was not
updated to correctly handle hugepages regions which straddled the 4GB
point.
The latter appears only to cause process-hangs when attempting to map
such a region, but the former can cause oopses if a get_user_pages()
is triggered at the wrong point. This patch addresses both bugs.
