I made one small change from your version (see below).

That aside, I have no idea if this patch is the right thing to do.  I 
thought the page bits were mainly important for the page cache... what do 
we accomplish by marking user pages dirty this way?

Your version had this as
	if (rc < num_pages)
but as far as I can see get_user_pages always returns either the full 
result, or nothing (the __get_user_pages fail path releases what it has so 
far).  Hmm, that actually means the kzalloc change isn't needed too, 
right?
