[PATCH] remove VM_DONTCOPY bogosities
Now that it's madvisable, remove two pieces of VM_DONTCOPY bogosity: 1. There was and is no logical reason why VM_DONTCOPY should be in the list of flags which forbid vma merging (and those drivers which set it are also setting VM_IO, which itself forbids the merge). 2. It's hard to understand the purpose of the VM_HUGETLB, VM_DONTCOPY block in vm_stat_account: but never mind, it's under CONFIG_HUGETLB, which (unlike CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE or CONFIG_HUGETLBFS) has never been defined.
