-------------------
This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.

commit 8b4216018bdbfbb1b76150d202b15ee68c38e991 upstream.

HighMem pages on i686 do not get mapped to the buffer_heads and this was
causing a NULL pointer dereference when we were trying to memset page buffers
to zero.
We now use zero_user() that kmaps the page and directly manipulates page data.
This patch also fixes a boundary condition that was incorrect.
