What happened to vcoalesce?

[Lars-Peter Clausen]

Hi Mike,

I'm using the kernel firmware loader on a blackfin board. And this currently
doesn't work with mainline since the firmware loader uses vmap. In the ADI
blackfin Linux tree there is a patch written by you, which fixes this.

What is the status of that patch in regard to going mainline? I found a
mailing-list post from January where you tried to submit it upstream, but
there was a minor bug in the patch and so the it was rejected. In March you
posted the fixed up version and from than on I couldn't find references to
it anymore.

Thanks,
- Lars

my patch had a bug in the MMU case, so when David pushed it to Linus, Linus 
got grumpy and rejected them.  i think i need to re-convince David to push the 
patches again now that i've fixed that bug.

David: could you comment ?
