[PATCH] Fix x86 iounmap() calling ioremap_change_attr() with a size that's too big.

[PATCH] Fix x86 iounmap() calling ioremap_change_attr() with a size that's too big.

[Loic Prylli]

The get_vm_area() allocates one extra guard page, and stores the augmented
size in area->size. But the ioremap/iounmap code on x86 relies on finding
the original size in area->size (otherwise it does change the attribute
of some random device in the linear-map by using a wrong size in
ioremap_change_attr() ). The problem is avoided by not using an extra guard
page for VM_IOREMAP allocations (if somebody can think of an easy way to
store the original size across ioremap()/iounmap() calls, that could be
a more elegant solution).
