I'm not sure I agree with that.  It's going to depend on exactly what this
code is doing; I can definitely see there being places in the VM where we
care about how this page is currently mapped, but I think those places
are probably using the wrong interface (get_user_pages()) and should
really be using an interface which doesn't exist yet (get_user_sg()).
