[PATCH] powerpc/mm: Lockless get_user_pages_fast()
Benjamin Herrenschmidt

Wed Jul 30 13:37:18 EST 2008
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin at suse.de>
Implement lockless get_user_pages_fast for powerpc. Page table existence
is guaranteed with RCU, and speculative page references are used to take a
reference to the pages without having a prior existence guarantee on them.

I'm going to merge this, sending it to the list for reference, it was
in -mm for some time , minus some changes/fixes I did to solve conflicts
with the new multiple huge page sizes.
