Yes, what we are doing is inlining the function call so that it can be
split to parts. So for reviewing, I just made it in-line.

I don't see the validate_mm() call in do_vmi_align_munmap, it is called
in the vms_complete_munmap_vmas() function though.

It would fail here, our count would be wrong.

Yes. In the current function, the vmi points to prev when we are done
this dance - so I put it there.

So this is about to change..

Yes, this is what I'm doing.
