BKCVS broken ?

[Stelian Pop]

The current bkcvs export is broken, several recent changesets are
missing from it.

This occurs at least in the mm/ directory, but I haven't verified
if other directories are not affected. I detected this problem
because the head of bkcvs doesn't compile anymore and shows errors
in mm/* missing symbols.

One example:

Take this changeset from Changeset,v:

@[PATCH] orphaned pagecache memleak fix

Chris found that with data journaling a reiserfs pagecache may be truncate
while still pinned.  The truncation removes the page->mapping, but the page
is still listed in the VM queues because it still has buffers.  Then during
the journaling process, a buffer is marked dirty and that sets the PG_dirty
bitflag as well (in mark_buffer_dirty).  After that the page is leaked
because it's both dirty and without a mapping.

So we must allow pages without mapping and dirty to reach the PagePrivate
check.  The page->mapping will be checked again right after the PagePrivate
check.

Looking at
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/gnupatch@4234d7beMW4wcFI6ltxdMMhApwDmuA
shows this changeset should contain a delta for mm/vmscan.c

However, mm/vmscan.c,v contains:
