So quite frankly, I don't like how this was done.

When you touch files like mm/memory.c, you don't just touch them. You
get sign-offs and acks from the VM maintainers. Seriously.

In this case, I pulled, looked, and then unpulled. I just don't want
it, and I think the new FAULT_FLAG_MINOR is seriously mis-named and
hacky.

Is it about atomicity? Is it about IO? Why wasn't I notified
before-hand? Was Andrew cc'd?

Not pulled.
