[PATCH] mm_types: remove references to s390 gmap
Posted by Paolo Bonzini 1 month, 2 weeks ago 
s390 does not anymore use special struct page for its shadow page tables.
The honor of giving a special meaning to pt_index is now m68k's, so
rename the fields and adjust them for the desired type.

Thanks, do you expect it to go through the mm tree or are you taking
it yourself?
