Does it really simplifies code ? It's 32 insertions versus 34 deletions 
so only removing 2 lines.

I don't like the struct vm_fault you are adding because when it was four 
independant variables it was handled through local registers. Now that 
it is a struct it has to go via the stack, leading to unnecessary memory 
read and writes. And going back and forth between architecture code and 
generic code may also be counter-performant.

Did you make any performance analysis ? Page faults are really a hot 
path when dealling with minor faults.

Thanks
Christophe
