[PATCH] kanoj-mm22-2.3.23 mprotect/mremap minor fixes

[Kanoj Sarcar]

Linus,

These are two small patches. The mprotect patch is needed to protect 
the pte updates from kswapd. The mremap patch is needed in the context
of clone's, where a clone of the process doing the mremap() might 
drag the old translation into the tlb right after mremamp() has done
the flush_tlb_range(), but before it has invalidated the old pte.

Thanks.

Kanoj
