    powerpc: Implement __get_user_pages_fast() · 1f7bf028
    Paul Mackerras authored
    Other architectures have a __get_user_pages_fast(), in addition to the
    regular get_user_pages_fast(), which doesn't call get_user_pages() on
    failure, and thus doesn't attempt to fault pages in or COW them.  The
    generic KVM code uses __get_user_pages_fast() to detect whether a page
    for which we have only requested read access is actually writable.
    
    This provides an implementation of __get_user_pages_fast() by
    splitting the existing get_user_pages_fast() in two.  With this, the
    generic KVM code will get the right answer instead of always
    considering such pages non-writable.
