Linus Torvalds e419b4cc58 vfs: make word-at-a-time accesses handle a non-existing page ... It turns out that there are more cases than CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC that can have holes in the kernel address space: it seems to happen easily with Xen, and it looks like the AMD gart64 code will also punch holes dynamically. Actually hitting that case is still very unlikely, so just do the access, and take an exception and fix it up for the very unlikely case of it being a page-crosser with no next page. And hey, this abstraction might even help other architectures that have other issues with unaligned word accesses than the possible missing next page. IOW, this could do the byte order magic too. Peter Anvin fixed a thinko in the shifting for the exception case.
