Subject: [RFC 0/3] arm: support get_user_pages_fast

Recently, I got a report get_user_pages_fast helps app's launching time
due to reducing uninterruptible sleep time because it could reduce
mmap_sem lock contentions when app is launching.

To support gupf in ARM-non-LPAE, first patch reorders memory type table
to use 5th bit of the page table. It seems we don't use the bit in ARMv6+
but it needs double check from maintainers.

Second patch introduces L_PTE_SPECIAL for arm so that last patch can
support get_user_pags_fast.

I would greatly appreciate if guys review that I screw up something,
especially, architecture stuffs.

Thanks.
