Very well, first the revised custom page fault handler patch.
Changes since the previous submit:
- use spin_lock_irqsave instead of spin_lock
- Harvey Harrison's clean-up with the #ifdefs
- handler call site moved earlier
- remove sync RCU call
I'm not aware of any functional problems with this one.
Arjan, you said you don't like this. May I ask why?
This is most convinient for mmiotrace as it is meant to be a module.
I'm also using this as an excuse to let other people to get into the
page fault handler with their out-of-tree-today modules.
