Daniel looked into them, so he may correct me, but the other follow_pfn
users and their destiny are:

 - SGX, which is not modular and I think I just saw a patch to kill them
 - v4l videobuf and frame vector: I think those are going away
   entirely as they implement a rather broken pre-dmabuf P2P scheme
 - vfio: should use MMU notifiers eventually

Daniel, what happened to your follow_pfn series?
