Unfortunately, it doesn't actually work on x86 with PAT enabled (which is basically all machines, so I don't know if anyone actually tested it). Also, vm_insert_pfn_prot() continues with a couple of old-school traditions, of taking an unsigned long instead of a pfn_t, and returning an errno that then has to be translated in the fault handler. I was looking at adding a somewhat similar function for DAX, so this patchset includes changing DAX to use Andy's interface. I'd like to see at least the first two patches go into Ingo's tree. The third patch can find its way into the -mm tree later to stay with the other DAX patches.
