[PATCH] vmi: fix highpte
Provide a PT map hook for HIGHPTE kernels to designate where they are mapping page tables. This information is required so the physical address of PTE updates can be determined; otherwise, the mm layer would have to carry the physical address all the way to each PTE modification callsite, which is even more hideous that the macros required to provide the proper hooks. So lets not mess up arch neutral code to achieve this, but keep the horror in an #ifdef HIGHPTE in include/asm-i386/pgtable.h. I had to use macros here because some types are not yet defined in all the include paths for this header. This patch is absolutely required for HIGHPTE kernels to operate properly with VMI.
