3.2.85-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 0ea1ec713f04bdfac343c9702b21cd3a7c711826 upstream. DMA mapping permissions were being derived from pgprot_kernel directly without using PAGE_KERNEL. This causes them to be marked with executable permission, which is not what we want. Fix this.
