Just did a quick test, it is definitely feasible. Please check the below
test log:

trace-cmd-200 [000] 99.221486: gup_get_user_pages:
start=8000000ff0 nr_pages=1 ret=1
trace-cmd-200 [000] 99.223215: gup_get_user_pages:
start=8000000fdb nr_pages=1 ret=1
trace-cmd-200 [000] 99.223298: gup_get_user_pages:
start=8000000ed0 nr_pages=1 ret=1

nr_pages is the number of pages requested by the gup, ret is the return
value.

If nobody has objection, I will add it into V3.

Regards,
Yang
