Just an aside, I don't fine the fault_page special handling all that
offensive, because fundamentally fault_page _is_ special: It's the one
page we _really_ have to migrate or userspace blows up because the kernel
sucks.

But maybe we shold stuff it into the vmf struct instead and pass that
around? I think that would be conceptually a notch cleaner.
