[PATCH] compile fix for fs/aio.c on non-highmem systems

[Benjamin LaHaise]

Hello,

Patrik Mochel noticed that fs/aio.c doesn't compile on a non-highmem config.  
The patch below (and in the bk tree on master.kernel.org:/home/bcrl/aio-2.5) 
fixes that by making the helper functions #defines, and should also be a 
bit faster.

Platforms should fix this by making a dummy asm/kmap_types.h

Linus added the explicit include of asm/kmap_types.h and therefore
I believe this is how he wants this fixed too.

I don't really much care how it gets fixed, I could equally well imagine
having a dummy struct when CONFIG_HIGHMEM isn't set. Whatever makes the 
dang thing work. There's certainly a good argument that non-broken 
architectures shouldn't need to bother with kmap() at all..

Or that since the enumeration values are basically identical
on every system that the belong in linux/kmap_types.h :-)

The main problem here is that one needs different kmap types depending 
on which context a function is called from (which is why I needed the 
enum as a parameter to the function).  Unfortunately, the amount of 
memory needed for ringbuffers can grow pretty large on a system with 
many tasks, so not kmapping them isn't an option.  Making it a #define 
certainly works quite well, but if someone has a better idea to the 
kmap mess, I'd love to see it improved.
