Ah, ... good point, thanks for the hint! (BTW: That's why I personally
prefer some more comments in the source code - by just looking at
gmap_fault() and __gmap_fault(), this is quite hard to see unless you
step through these functions and called functions line by line).

Anyway, I'll assemble a follow-up patch that addresses this
problem with handle_mvpg_pei().
