I am learning the code and have some questions. The original code,
xip_file_fault(), jumps to found: and calls vm_insert_mixed() when
get_xip_mem(,,0,,) succeeded. If get_xip_mem() returns -ENODATA, it
calls either get_xip_mem(,,1,,) or xip_sparse_page(). In this new
function, it looks to me that get_block(,,,0) returns 0 for both cases
(success and -ENODATA previously), which are dealt in the same way. Is
that right? If so, is there any reason for the change? Also, isn't it
possible to call get_block(,,,1) even if get_block(,,,0) found a block?

Thanks,
-Toshi
