What about get_area(), what happens to vm_flags in case that function is 
used ?

Don't you have to export __get_unmapped_area() so that the static inline 
get_unmapped_area() used in a module have access to __get_unmapped_area() ?

If it was pointless to export get_unmapped_area(), its removal should be 
a separate patch.
