Which may not be what you want...  The reason I was looking at this code was
because it was recently changed by Dave Jiang to remove the 'vma' argument
from all the fault handlers.

So, would you rather:

1) Take it through the -mm tree to avoid merge conflicts, in which case I'll
add akpm to the thread.

2) Take it through your tree & deal with merge conflicts later, in which case
I can rebase on your tree or on v4.10-rc6.

3) Just drop it and keep the extra 20 lines or whatever that the complier will
just optimize out.

I'm fine with any of the above.
