H A Dmmap.cdiff a6f563db09c54c80d80e9013182dc512a5e53d0f Wed Mar 22 09:08:29 CET 2006 Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> [PATCH] remove VM_DONTCOPY bogosities

Now that it's madvisable, remove two pieces of VM_DONTCOPY bogosity:

1. There was and is no logical reason why VM_DONTCOPY should be in the
list of flags which forbid vma merging (and those drivers which set
it are also setting VM_IO, which itself forbids the merge).

2. It's hard to understand the purpose of the VM_HUGETLB, VM_DONTCOPY
block in vm_stat_account: but never mind, it's under CONFIG_HUGETLB,
which (unlike CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE or CONFIG_HUGETLBFS) has never been
defined.
