While you fixed up the asm-generic thing, this breaks arch/um and
arch/unicorn32. For those the fixup is trivial by removing the vma
argument.

But itt also breaks powerpc and there I'm not sure whether moving
arch_unmap() to the beginning of __do_munmap() is safe. Micheal???

Aside of that the powerpc variant looks suspicious:

static inline void arch_unmap(struct mm_struct *mm,
                              unsigned long start, unsigned long end)
{
 	if (start <= mm->context.vdso_base && mm->context.vdso_base < end)
                mm->context.vdso_base = 0;
}

Shouldn't that be: 

 	if (start >= mm->context.vdso_base && mm->context.vdso_base < end)

Hmm?

Thanks,
