[PATCH] Clear dirty bits etc on compound frees
From: "Martin J. Bligh" <mbligh@aracnet.com>, Guillaume Morin <guillaume@morinfr.org> We need to clear the software dirty bit on the tail pages of a compound page when freeing it up. The tail pages can become dirtied by mmap'ing /dev/mem, and writing into any clustered page group (that a driver might have created or whatever). Plus it's better to run all these pages through the free_pages_check checks anyway.
