Kernel 4.7: PAGE_GUARDED and _PAGE_NO_CACHE

[Christian Zigotzky]

Hi All,

I tried to revert this commit but unfortunately I doesn't work:

git revert d6a9996e84ac4beb7713e9485f4563e100a9b03e

error: could not revert d6a9996... powerpc/mm: vmalloc abstraction in 
preparation for radix
hint: after resolving the conflicts, mark the corrected paths
hint: with 'git add <paths>' or 'git rm <paths>'
hint: and commit the result with 'git commit'


Any hints?

Thanks,

Christian
