Re: [PATCH] staging: zcache: fix highmem crash on 32-bit

[Seth Jennings <sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Please disregard, I sent this one out before on 8/10 :-/

I couldn't find the original post in the LKML archives, 
so I thought I had never sent it.  Turns out that I only 
sent it to the driver project list.
