This is what I need (pgd_offset_k), thank you!!

On new kernels init_mm is not exported however.  Is there a
replacement I can use from a module?  mm_struct->mmlist is no longer a
list of all mm's (only swapped mm's).  I would like a way to walk from
current->mm to init_mm.  Google seems to indicate rmap can do this but
I cannot find any code.
