This one, it looks really trivial. And of course I will appreciate it
if you can review the special_mapping_fault() fixes.

The change in move_vma() textually depends on another patch I sent,

	[PATCH 1/4] mremap: don't leak new_vma if f_op->mremap() fails
	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=143475603713622

Oleg.
