Hmm.. The gup maintainers seemed fine with the code..
Now this is only an issue if gru_vtop can be executed in an interrupt
context.
get_user_pages_remote is not valid in an interrupt context(if CONFIG_MMU
is set). If we follow the function, in __get_user_pages, cond_resched()
is called which definitly confirms that we can't run this function in an
interrupt context.
I think we might need some advice from the gup maintainers here.
Note that the comment on the function __get_user_pages_fast states that
__get_user_pages_fast is IRQ-safe.
