More consolidated code is a good idea; no question.  But I don't think
this is the right way to do it.

This should be:

#ifndef vma_check_access
bool vma_check_access(struct vm_area_struct *vma, )
{
	return (vma->vm_flags & vm_flags) == 0;
}
#endif

and then arches which want to do something different can just define
vma_check_access.

Declaring the vmf in this function and then copying it back is just wrong.
We need to declare vm_fault_t earlier (in the arch fault handler) and
pass it in.  I don't think that creating struct vm_locked_fault is the
right idea either.
