Thanks for the r-b, Jerome!

Though I plan to change this patch a bit because I just noticed that I
didn't touch up the hugetlbfs path for GUP.  Though it was not needed
for now because hugetlbfs is not yet supported but I think maybe I'd
better do that as well in this same patch to make follow up works
easier on hugetlb, and the patch will be more self contained.  The new
version will simply squash below change into current patch:

diff --git a/mm/hugetlb.c b/mm/hugetlb.c

                                fault_flags |= FAULT_FLAG_TRIED;
                        }
                        ret = hugetlb_fault(mm, vma, vaddr, fault_flags);

I'd say this change is straightforward (it's the same as the
faultin_page below but just for hugetlbfs).  Please let me know if you
still want to offer the r-b with above change squashed (I'll be more
than glad to take it!), or I'll just wait for your review comment when
I post the next version.

Thanks,
