Just wanted to point out that I like that new hook as UserModeLinux can benefit from it. UML has the concept of stub pages where the UML host process can inject commands to guest processes. Currently we play nasty games in the TLB code to make all this work. arch_unmap() could make this stuff more clear and less error prone.
