Great!, what you think about below? another thing we want to add or to
start sending it to Andrew?

btw may i add your signed-off to this patch?
(the only thing that i changed was taking down the *orig_pte = *ptep,
so we will merge write_protected pages, and add orig_pte = __pte(0) to
avoid annoying warning message about being used uninitialized)

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ksm: remove page_wrprotect() from rmap.c

Remove page_wrprotect() from rmap.c and instead embedded the needed code
into ksm.c

Hugh pointed out that for the ksm usage case, we dont have to walk over the rmap
and to write protected page after page beacuse when Anonymous page is mapped
more than once, it have to be write protected already, and in a case that it
mapped just once, no need to walk over the rmap, we can instead write protect
it from inside ksm.c.

Thanks.
