copy_page_range() triggers a CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM assert, because if a
preemption occurs right at a PMD_SIZE boundary the kmap/kunmap doesnt
match. This isnt a real problem because atomic_kunmap doesnt do anything
if CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM is not set and the atomic_map's are still
correct, but it's ugly nevertheless.

tested patch is against 2.6.9-rc2-mm4.
