The plan for these patches is to introduce the typedef, initially just as documentation ("These functions should return a VM_FAULT_ status"). We'll trickle the patches to individual drivers/filesystems in through the maintainers, as far as possible. Then we'll change the typedef to an unsigned int and break the compilation of any unconverted drivers/filesystems. We have already started sending out drivers/filesystems changes to different maintainers. Reference commit id - 1c8f422059ae5da07db7406ab916203f9417e396
