This change resolves the problem of too many single page entries in pat_memtype_list and "freeing invalid memtype" errors with i915, reported here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123845244713183&w=2 Remove page level granularity track and untrack of vm_insert_pfn. memtype tracking at page granularity does not scale and cleaner approach would be for the driver to request a type for a bigger IO address range or PCI io memory range for that device, either at mmap time or driver init time and just use that type during vm_insert_pfn. This patch just removes the track/untrack of vm_insert_pfn. That means we will be in same state as 2.6.28, with respect to these APIs. Newer APIs for the drivers to request a memtype for a bigger region is coming soon.
