I'm travelling so I haven't had a chance to review properly or even test
but it looks like an ad-hoc fix for the immediate problem.
Ultimately, I want to rework that stuff to do a __gup_fast like x86 does
(maybe as a fallback from an attempt at access first) so we work around
access permissions blocked by lack of dirty/accessed bits but in the
meantime, this should fix the immediate issue.
Cheers,
Ben.
