[PATCH] ttm_get_pages() will OOPS with highmem allocation

[Jonathan Morton]

Reposting from this kernel bug:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50241

I've tested the patch and it solves a highly repeatable OOPS with the
CedarView driver that I'm porting.

Subject: [PATCH] Clear the ttm page allocated from high memory zone
correctly

The TTM page can be allocated from high memory. In such case it is
wrong to use the page_address(page) as the virtual address for the high
memory page.
