Subject[PATCH 24/61] SPARC64: Fix memory corruption in pci_4u_free_consistent().
-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The second argument to free_npages() was being incorrectly
calculated, which would thus access far past the end of the
arena->map[] bitmap.
