This is responding to some feedback from Ingo on the "get_user_pages_foreign()" patch:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160209124649.GA20153@gmail.com
This new series breaks apart some of the changes in that original patch and adds some backward-compatibility to allow old-style get_user_pages() arguments to not break the build. The macros to do this are "fun". See patch #2.
We also change the name to get_user_pages_remote().
This is a preparatory patch for the Memory Protection Keys work, but I am sending this separately for review to spare you from the ~30 other patches in the series that have not changed.
