I added a macro by which you can query an iterator to find out how the
extraction function will treat the pages (it returns 0, FOLL_GET or FOLL_PIN
as appropriate).  Note that it's a macro to avoid #inclusion of linux/mm.h in
linux/uio.h.

I'd support moving FOLL_* definitions to mm_types.h along with
FAULT_FLAG_* and VM_FAULT_*.

+1, great idea. The use of FOLL_* without including it's .h directly was
the first thing that jumped out at me when I just started looking at
this. And these really are mm types, so yes.
