Can't just pass a dirty argument to put_user_pages?  Also do we really
need a separate put_user_page for the single page case?
put_user_pages_dirty?

Also the PageReserved check looks bogus, as I can't see how a reserved
page can end up here.  So IMHO the above snippled should really look
something like this:

	put_user_pages(vsg->pages[i], vsg->num_pages,
			vsg->direction == DMA_FROM_DEVICE);

in the end.
