Yup, Dave Hansen changed page_walk interface recently.
thus, his and ours patch is conflicted ;)

below patch is just nit cleanups.


===========================================
From: Lee Schermerhorn <lee.schermerhorn@hp.com>

This [freeing of mlocked pages] also occurs in unpatched 26-rc5-mm3.

Fixed by the following:

PATCH:  fix munlock page table walk - now requires 'mm'

Against 2.6.26-rc5-mm3.

Incremental fix for: mlock-mlocked-pages-are-unevictable-fix.patch 

Initialize the 'mm' member of the mm_walk structure, else the
page table walk doesn't occur, and mlocked pages will not be
munlocked.  This is visible in the vmstats:  

	noreclaim_pgs_munlocked - should equal noreclaim_pgs_mlocked
	  less (nr_mlock + noreclaim_pgs_cleared), but is always zero 
	  [munlock_vma_page() never called]

	noreclaim_pgs_mlockfreed - should be zero [for debug only],
	  but == noreclaim_pgs_mlocked - (nr_mlock + noreclaim_pgs_cleared)
