Subject[patch 3/3] arch_rebalance_pgtables call
From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

In order to change the layout of the page tables after an mmap has
crossed the adress space limit of the current page table layout a
architecture hook in get_unmapped_area is needed. The arguments
are the address of the new mapping and the length of it.
