commit 9fd6dad1261a541b3f5fa7dc5b152222306e6702 in linux-next is what
export's follow_pte and it uses a different signature:

+int follow_pte(struct mm_struct *mm, unsigned long address,
+ pte_t **ptepp, spinlock_t **ptlp)

Recommend you send this patch for rc1 once the right stuff lands in
Linus's tree

Otherwise it looks OK
