Applied.

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/andrea/aa.git/commit/?h=userfault&id=c2dee3384770a953cbad27b46854aa6fd13656c6

I was also asked if we could return the full address of the fault
including the page offset. In the end I also implemented this
incremental to your change:

Let me know if you're ok with it. The commit header explains more why
I think the bits below PAGE_SHIFT of the fault address aren't
interesting but why I did this change anyway.

After reviewing this last change I think it's time to make a proper
submit and it's polished enough for merging in -mm after proper review
of the full patchset.

Thanks,
Andrea
