All these new kmaps and kunmaps hurt. It's supposed to be
kinda-deprecated and scales poorly. Oh well.

grumble. I'm going to march over there and take away your `i' key. Or
make it emit "page_nr".

Can I feed this 16TB of memory? If so, we just overflowed `nr_pages'.

Every time we do this the spufs build breaks:

long spu_sys_callback(struct spu_syscall_block *s)
{
long (*syscall)(u64 a1, u64 a2, u64 a3, u64 a4, u64 a5, u64 a6);

BUILD_BUG_ON(ARRAY_SIZE(spu_syscall_table) != __NR_syscalls);
