x86: delay the export removal of init_mm
delay the removal of this symbol export by one more kernel release, giving external modules such as VirtualBox a chance to stop using it. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

322What: init_mm export
323When: 2.6.26
324Why: Not used in-tree. The current out-of-tree users used it to
325 work around problems in the CPA code which should be resolved
326 by now. One usecase was described to provide verification code
327 of the CPA operation. That's a good idea in general, but such
328 code / infrastructure should be in the kernel and not in some
329 out-of-tree driver.
