Subject: [PATCH v5 1/2] mm: Add a vmf_insert_mixed_prot() function
From: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@...are.com>
The TTM module today uses a hack to be able to set a different page
protection than struct vm_area_struct::vm_page_prot. To be able to do
this properly, add the needed vm functionality as vmf_insert_mixed_prot().
