The point is that "gtt_pwrite_slow" is going to be preferrable in the
cases where it is possible. It just wasn't the full fallback patch for
all objects previously, so we didn't bother to write a partial fallback
handler.

Maybe I don't get this - is fast_user_write expected always to fail for non shmem backed objects? And so revert to the slow_user_path always and immediately? Because fast_user_write is still the primary choice for everything.

Perhaps this needs a matrix in the comment/commit describing which path for which objects and when..
