From: Souptick Joarder <jrdr.linux@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: Create the new vm_fault_t type
Page fault handlers are supposed to return VM_FAULT codes,
but some drivers/file systems mistakenly return error
numbers. Now that all drivers/file systems have been converted
to use the vm_fault_t return type, change the type definition
to no longer be compatible with 'int'. By making it an unsigned
int, the function prototype becomes incompatible with a function
which returns int. Sparse will detect any attempts to return a
value which is not a VM_FAULT code.
VM_FAULT_SET_HINDEX and VM_FAULT_GET_HINDEX values are changed
to avoid conflict with other VM_FAULT codes.
