Subject: mm: add support for direct_IO to highmem pages
The patch "mm: add support for a filesystem to activate swap files and use
direct_IO for writing swap pages" added support for using direct_IO to
write swap pages but it is insufficient for highmem pages.
To support highmem pages, this patch kmaps() the page before calling the
direct_IO() handler. As direct_IO deals with virtual addresses an
additional helper is necessary for get_kernel_pages() to lookup the struct
page for a kmap virtual address.
