This is a proposal to revert commit 914eedcb9ba0ff53c33808.
I found this when writing a simple UFFDIO_API test to be the first unit
test in this set. Two things breaks with the commit:
- UFFDIO_API check was lost and missing. According to man page, the
kernel should reject ioctl(UFFDIO_API) if uffdio_api.api != 0xaa. This
check is needed if the api version will be extended in the future, or
user app won't be able to identify which is a new kernel.
- Feature flags checks were removed, which means UFFDIO_API with a
feature that does not exist will also succeed. According to the man
page, we should (and it makes sense) to reject ioctl(UFFDIO_API) if
unknown features passed in.
