Comparing my stuff to their work, I just do some small performance enhancem=
ents:

- I do not modify a single line on the existing VM paths - if my stuff has =
no
  improvement for you, then yo will not be obliged to pay any overhead
- I do not insist on :-)) ... that would block the execution of the applica=
tion
  while the resources are not available
- I handle only the simplest case: private anonymous pages (...a singe PTE.=
..)

- IWAMOTO Toshihiro provides a complete "fool proof" solution with obligati=
on to
  cussed in the migration
