Hi Greg --
Please revert the following commit, hopefully before 3.1 is released.
Although it fixes a crash in 32-bit systems with high memory,
the fix apparently *causes* crashes on 64-bit systems. Not sure why
my testing didn't catch it before but it has now been observed in
the wild in 3.1-rc4 and I can reproduce it now fairly easily.
3.1-rc3 works fine, 3.1-rc4 fails, and 3.1-rc3 plus only this
commit fails. Let's revert it before 3.1 and Seth and Nitin and I
will sort out a better fix later.

staging: zcache: fix crash on high memory swap
zcache_put_page() was modified to pass page_address(page) instead of the
actual page structure. In combination with the function signature changes
to tmem_put() and zcache_pampd_create(), zcache_pampd_create() tries to
(re)derive the page structure from the virtual address. However, if the
original page is a high memory page (or any unmapped page), this
virt_to_page() fails because the page_address() in zcache_put_page()
returned NULL.
This patch changes zcache_put_page() and zcache_get_page() to pass
the page structure instead of the page's virtual address, which
may or may not exist.
