Hello Everyone,

We have two micro patches for pmap-v6.c containing fix for 'modified'
bit emulation and removal of the redundant PGA_WRITEABLE clearing.

Please check out the attachment.

These two are minimal changes and we would like to commit them soon, so
we would be grateful if you could test them on your ARMv6/v7 platforms
and give us your remarks.

Best regards
Zbyszek Bodek
