I didn't originally sign-off my version of your patch, but am happy to do so now that you've gone over it again and fixed the pte_modify issue (though I'm not sure what the order of our signoffs should be). I shall need to cover the MAP_PRIVATE COW issue in do_wp_page, but I think that's better done as a separate patch: I'll attend to it in a few days, it's not something that will upset anyone bisecting, my mind is elsewhere at present.
