Allow arbitrary shared PFNMAP's
A shared mapping doesn't cause COW-pages, so we don't need to worry about the whole vm_pgoff logic to decide if a PFN-remapped page has gone through COW or not. This makes it possible to entirely avoid the special "partial remapping" logic for the common case. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
