I think we should still use the APIs because of the the same reason. However
again I don't know the performance impact of that to your patch, but I still
think that could be done inside gup itself when needed (e.g., a special path
for hugetlbfs for [un]pinning continuous pages; though if that's the case that
could be something to be discussed on -mm then as a separate patch, imho).

Thanks,
