Andrew - could we modify this patch please? I'd like to not include the change
to mm/shmem.c. Sorry to be a pain!

Andrew - We don't want to include this in change to mm/shmem.c in this
series as it turns out we always need to set this flag, hence the need to
not include this part of the patch.
Thanks!
