Paolo Galtieri a0c111c631 [PATCH] ppc highmem fix
I've noticed that the calculations for seg_size and nr_segs in
__dma_sync_page_highmem() (arch/ppc/kernel/dma-mapping.c) are wrong.  The
incorrect calculations can result in either an oops or a panic when running
fsck depending on the size of the partition.

The problem with the seg_size calculation is that it can result in a
negative number if size is offset > size.  The problem with the nr_segs
caculation is returns the wrong number of segments, e.g.  it returns 1 when
size is 200 and offset is 4095, when it should return 2 or more.
