Cover letter [PATCH 0/4] devmem and readahead fixes for 2.6.33

Andrew,

Here are some good fixes for 2.6.33, they have been floating around with other patches for some time. I should really seperate them out earlier..

Greg,

The first two patches are on devmem. 2.6.32 also needs fixing, however the patches can only apply cleanly to 2.6.33. I can do backporting if necessary.

[PATCH 1/4] devmem: check vmalloc address on kmem read/write [PATCH 2/4] devmem: fix kmem write bug on memory holes

The next two patches are on readahead. All previous kernel needs fixing, and the patches can apply cleanly to 2.6.32, too.

[PATCH 3/4] vfs: take f_lock on modifying f_mode after open time [PATCH 4/4] readahead: introduce FMODE_RANDOM for POSIX_FADV_RANDOM

Thanks,
Fengguang
