I prefer to do it myself so I can apply it at the same time to the MIPS
-stable branches.

I'm a little irriated that this thread seems to be only about
empty_zero_page but apparently not zero_page_mask?  empty_zero_page is
actualy an array of pages on MIPS and ZERO_PAGE() will pick the right one
for a particular user space mapping based on the virtual address but
ZERO_PAGE() also references zero_page_mask.  So I sense more brokenness
here.
