I was hoping that the mm folks would put together a quick patch to fix
what looks like a problem with the helper, but I'm not sure when that
is going to happen and with other callers I don't want to change the
helper and break a different part of the kernel.  Unfortunately that
leaves us with needing a revert, but like Stephen said, I think
reverting just the heap helper is the right thing to do right now; I
also want to put a comment in there for the next time someone tries to
re-add the vma_is_initial_heap().  Give me some time, I'll have a
patch out for this later today.
