Don't we also need to convert include/linux/mm_types.h:

@@ -621,7 +621,7 @@ struct vm_special_mapping {
         * If non-NULL, then this is called to resolve page faults
         * on the special mapping.  If used, .pages is not checked.
         */
-       int (*fault)(const struct vm_special_mapping *sm,
+       vm_fault_t (*fault)(const struct vm_special_mapping *sm,
                     struct vm_area_struct *vma,
                     struct vm_fault *vmf);
 
or are you leaving that for a later patch?
