Although hmm_range_fault() calls find_vma() to make sure that a vma exists

within the vma range.
Should we convert to walk_vma_range instead? Or keep walk_page_range
but drop searching the vma ourselves?
Except for that the patch looks good to me:

I think keeping the call to walk_page_range() makes sense.
Jason is hoping to be able to snapshot a range with & without vmas
and have the pfns[] filled with empty/valid entries as appropriate.
I plan to repost my patch changing hmm_range_fault() to use
walk.test_walk which will remove the call to find_vma().
Jason had some concerns about testing it so that's why I have
been working on some HMM self tests before resending it.
