Deepak,

Again please refer to documentation and/or Ira's deprecation patch. The 
reasons why are in one of my previous messages.

Well, if this page could come from HIGHMEM, how about memcpy_to_page()? 
Otherwise, (if it cannot come from HIGHMEM) we don't need to kmap*() it. 

Can you please take a look at the allocation's flags?
