OK, there was only process_vm_access.c, plus (sort of) Bharath's sgi-gru
patch, maybe eventually [1].  But looking at process_vm_access.c, I think 
it is one of the patches that is no longer applicable, and I can just
drop it entirely...I'd welcome a second opinion on that...

So we might be all out of potential users for vaddr_pin_pages_remote()!

For quick reference, it looks like this:
