mm: add remap_pfn_range_notrack
Patch series "add remap_pfn_range_notrack instead of reinventing it in i915", v2.
i915 has some reason to want to avoid the track_pfn_remap overhead in
remap_pfn_range. Add a function to the core VM to do just that rather
than reinventing the functionality poorly in the driver.
Note that the remap_io_sg path does get exercises when using Xorg on my
Thinkpad X1, so this should be considered lightly tested, I've not managed
to hit the remap_io_mapping path at all.
This patch (of 4):
Add a version of remap_pfn_range that does not call track_pfn_range. This
will be used to fix horrible abuses of VM internals in the i915 driver.
