    Greetings,

    The attached patch changes the loop device transfer functions (including
    cryptoloop transfers) to accept page/offset pairs instead of virtual
    addresses, and removes the redundant kmaps in do_lo_send, do_lo_receive,
    and loop_transfer_bio. Per Andrew Morton's request a while back.

    Combined with my previous patch (loop-recycle.diff) I believe this makes
    loop devices safe for use as swap.

    Questions? Comments? Flames?
