I'm not averse to the notion of a userfaultfd.7 page, but it's a little hard to advise because I'm not sure of the size and scope of your planned changes. In the meantime, I've merged the userfaultfd pages into master, dropped the "draft" branch, and pushed the updates in master to Git. Can you write your changes as a series of patches, and perhaps first give a brief oultine of the proposed changes before getting too far into the work? Then we could tweak the direction if needed.
