Mauro,
Please revert this patch: vm_area_cachep is not exported, so you cannot use this
in a module.
Cho KyongHo, if you believe that vm_area_cachep should be exported so it can be
used here, then please make a patch for that.
For the time being though, this patch should be reverted.
This patch slipped through the cracks and I clearly never reviewed it, and I
only
noticed the problem after I compiled the media_tree git repo after this patch
was merged.
Regards,
Hans
