    mm: stack based kmap_atomic() · 3e4d3af5

    Keep the current interface but ignore the KM_type and use a stack based
    approach.
    
    The advantage is that we get rid of crappy code like:
    
    	#define __KM_PTE			\
    		(in_nmi() ? KM_NMI_PTE : 	\
    		 in_irq() ? KM_IRQ_PTE :	\
    		 KM_PTE0)
    
    and in general can stop worrying about what context we're in and what kmap
    slots might be appropriate for that.
    
    The downside is that FRV kmap_atomic() gets more expensive.
    
    For now we use a CPP trick suggested by Andrew:
    
      #define kmap_atomic(page, args...) __kmap_atomic(page)
    
    to avoid having to touch all kmap_atomic() users in a single patch.
