Actually reading said patch and thinking helps. I'll go hide back under
my rock now...
What: vm_ops.nopage
When: Soon, provided in-kernel callers have been converted
Why: This interface is replaced by vm_ops.fault, but it has been
around forever, is used by a lot of drivers, and doesn't cost
much to maintain.
