Re: [PATCH] Shrink the size of tlb handler

By combining swapper_pg_dir and module_pg_dir, several if conditions
can be eliminated from the tlb exception handler. The reason they
can be combined is that, the effective virtual address of vmalloc
returned is at the bottom, and of module_alloc returned is at the
top. It also fixes the bug in vmalloc(), which happens when its
return address is not covered by the first pgd.

I like this patch. I ported it to my 2.6.27 kernel and it seems to work well.

One thing you are missing is that that label_module_alloc should now no longer be needed in tlbex.c It should be removed.
