I will change to vas_window_task and vas_user_window_ops. struct
vas_window is common for both kernel and user space window, but struct
vas_window_task is needed only for user space.

Yes get and put references to pid and mm. Hence mentioned
reference_task to reflect for both pid and mm. Would you prefer
vas_put_reference_pid_mm()?

To support LPM and DLPAR, plannig to add VMA (mapping address) in
struct vas_window_task. But I can change it to 'struct
vas_window_user_ref' instread of vas_window_task.
