[PATCH] unpaged: get_user_pages VM_RESERVED
The PageReserved removal in 2.6.15-rc1 prohibited get_user_pages on the areas flagged VM_RESERVED in place of PageReserved. That is correct in theory - we ought not to interfere with struct pages in such a reserved area; but in practice it broke BTTV for one. So revert to prohibiting only on VM_IO: if someone gets into trouble with get_user_pages on VM_RESERVED, it'll just be a "don't do that". You can argue that videobuf_mmap_mapper shouldn't set VM_RESERVED in the first place, but now's not the time for breaking drivers without notice.
