Well, I didn't ask you for a second version. This is why you already see my 
"Reviewed-by:" tag. I'm OK with your changes. I just warned you that 
maintainers might ask, so I'd wait and see. However it's up to you.

However, if you decide to send this patch with memcpy_from_page(), why you 
are not sure about 4/5? Since you decided to send 1/5 again, what does prevent 
you from updating also 4/5?
