Subject: mm/nommu.c: fix remap_pfn_range()
From: Bob Liu <[email protected]>
remap_pfn_range() means map physical address pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT to user addr.
For nommu arch it's implemented by vma->vm_start = pfn << PAGE_SHIFT which
is wrong acroding the original meaning of this function. And some driver
developer using remap_pfn_range() with correct parameter will get
unexpected result because vm_start is changed. It should be implementd
like addr = pfn << PAGE_SHIFT but which is meanless on nommu arch, this
patch just make it simply return.
Parameter name and setting of vma->vm_flags also be fixed.
