I'm not aware of any blockers on the gup.c end, anyway. The only broken thing we
have there is "gup remote + FOLL_LONGTERM". But we can do "gup fast + LONGTERM". 

Unless I'm really missing something, in which case several other call sites
would need changes.

I'll change it to pin_longterm_pages_fast().
