Paul, Ben,

ACK since it looks like Ben has picked this up already..... but FYI I have a different version of this fix in my tree.  The get_unmapped_area() shouldn't be there  *at all*  - we can just use the generic code if we don't have slices.  So instead the whole hugetlb_get_unmapped_area function should be wrapped in PPC_MM_SLICES.  This is crufty debug stuff that I missed yanking out when I pushed the patch, my apologies.

I'll just submit a followup patch to fix this.

Cheers,
B
