[patch 24/52] [PATCH] s390: use change recording override for kernel mapping

[Martin Schwidefsky]

From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@xxxxxxxxxx>

We dont need the dirty bit if a write access is done via the kernel
mapping. In that case SetPageDirty and friends are used anyway, no
need to do that a second time. We can use the change-recording
overide function for the kernel mapping, if available.
