(Sorry it took me so long to reply. No, I wasn't hoping for Paolo's

Yes, we can do that, but what I don't quite like here is that
try_async_pf() does much more than 'trying async PF'. In particular, it
extracts 'pfn' and this is far from being obvious. Maybe we can rename
try_async_pf() somewhat smartly (e.g. 'try_handle_pf()')? Your
suggestion will make perfect sense to me then.
