int get_user_pages_fast(unsigned long start, int nr_pages, int write,
                        struct page **pages)


Current behaviour is

        if (atomic || async)
                npages = __get_user_pages_fast(addr, 1, 1, page);

	if (npages != 1) 
		slow path retry;

The changes above change this, don't they?
