[PATCH] mm: parisc pte atomicity

Browse source 
There's a worrying function translation_exists in parisc cacheflush.h,
unaffected by split ptlock since flush_dcache_page is using it on some other
mm, without any relevant lock.  Oh well, make it a slightly more robust by
factoring the pfn check within it.  And it looked liable to confuse a
camouflaged swap or file entry with a good pte: fix that too.
