[RFC PATCH 30/35] Add apply_to_page_range() function

[Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: apply-to-page-range --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4007 bytes --]

Add a new mm function apply_to_page_range() which applies a given
function to every pte in a given virtual address range in a given mm
structure. This is a generic alternative to cut-and-pasting the Linux
idiomatic pagetable walking code in every place that a sequence of
PTEs must be accessed.

Although this interface is intended to be useful in a wide range of
situations, it is currently used specifically by several Xen
subsystems, for example: to ensure that pagetables have been allocated
for a virtual address range, and to construct batched special
pagetable update requests to map I/O memory (in ioremap()).
