Ugh. This is disgusting.

Don't get me wrong - I've pulled this, but I think there's some deeper
problem that made this patch required.

Why is pin_user_pages_remote() taking a reference to a reserved page?
Maybe it just shouldn't (and then obviously we should fix the unpin
case to match too).

Adding a few GUP people to the participants for comments.

Anybody?
