Hello,

This patchset is to work with "remove vm_struct list management":

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/13/40

In more detail, this patchset try to use vmap_area_list to get the
start address of vmalloc region.

I tested this on i386/x86_64, but I can't do it on other 
architectures. So, please let me know if you find any problems.

Atsushi Kumagai (4):
      Introduce new symbols to look at the first vmap_area.
      Use vmap_area_list to get vmalloc_start for i386.
      Use vmap_area_list to get vmalloc_start for ppc32.
      Use vmap_area_list to get vmalloc_start for ppc64.
