[PATCH 5/9] vmap: add flag to allow lazy unmap to be disabled at runtime

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
Date: Tue Jul 27 2010 - 13:21:09 EST


From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add a flag to force lazy_max_pages() to zero to prevent any outstanding
mapped pages. We'll need this for Xen.
