From: Miklos Szeredi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Dirty page accounting/limiting doesn't work for nonlinear mappings, so
for non-ram backed filesystems emulate with linear mappings. This
retains ABI compatibility with previous kernels at minimal code cost.
All known users of nonlinear mappings actually use tmpfs, so this
shouldn't have any negative effect.
