Subject[patch 44/49] Fix __pfn_to_page(pfn) for CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y
2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

commit c5d712433ff57a66d8fb79a57a4fc7a7c3467b97 upstream

Fix the __pfn_to_page(pfn) macro so that it doesn't evaluate its
argument twice in the CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y case, because 'pfn' may
be a result of a funtion call having side effects.

For example, the hibernation code applies pfn_to_page(pfn) to the
result of a function returning the pfn corresponding to the next set
bit in a bitmap and the current bit position is modified on each
call. This leads to "interesting" failures for CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y
due to the current behavior of __pfn_to_page(pfn).
