[PATCH 1/2] NOMMU: new vcoalesce helper function

From: Mike Frysinger
Date: Wed Jan 12 2011 - 00:00:25 EST


We can't support vmap on NOMMU systems, so add a new vcoalesce function
which combines maps via kmalloc. A bit more overhead, but at least it
works. For MMU systems, vcoalesce simply redirects to vmap.
