This bit appears to be trying to make kmap_atomic() variant that can map
two pages in to contigious virtual addresses. Instead of open-coding it
in a non-portable way like this, should we just make a new kmap_atomic()
variant that does this?
>From the way it's implemented, I _think_ you're guaranteed to get two
contiguous addresses if you do two adjacent kmap_atomics() on the same CPU:
void *kmap_atomic_prot(struct page *page, pgprot_t prot)
{
...
type = kmap_atomic_idx_push();
idx = type + KM_TYPE_NR*smp_processor_id();
vaddr = __fix_to_virt(FIX_KMAP_BEGIN + idx);
I think if you do a get_cpu()/put_cpu() or just a preempt_disable()
across the operations you'll be guaranteed to get two contiguous addresses.
