Hi Andrew,
Ran into following BUG_ON() while testing 2.6.19 with
madvise(REMOVE). Here is the fix to the problem.
(BTW, bug has been there a for a while and ran into
it while doing distro testing and reproduced on 2.6.19).

Ran into BUG() while doing madvise(REMOVE) testing. If we are
punching a hole into shared memory segment using madvise(REMOVE)
and the entire hole is below the indirect blocks, we hit following
assert.
BUG_ON(limit <= SHMEM_NR_DIRECT);
