Ugh. This is essentially a copy-n-paste of code in __do_fault(),
including the comments. Is there no way to consolidate the code so that
there's less duplication here?
Part of the reason we have so many bugs in hugetlbfs is that it's really
a forked set of code that does things its own way. I really hope we're
not going down the road of creating another feature in the same way.
When you copy *this* much code (or any, really), you really need to talk
about it in the patch description. I was looking at other COW code, and
just happened to stumble on to the __do_fault() code.
