Re: [PATCH 09/17] mm: export access_remote_vm() symbol

Exporting access_remote_vm just seems like a horrible idea.

If a driver needs to access a different VM from a completion path
in some thread or workqueue (which I assume this does, if not please
explain the use case), it should use kthread_use_mm to associate the
mm struct and then just use all the normal uaccess helpers.
