Hi Nick,

what is the status of this patch? I'm just trying to line up a kernel

Hi Dave,

Blocked by another kernel bug at the moment. I hope both fixes can
make it into 2.6.20, but if that doesn't look like it will happen,
then I might try reworking the patchset to break the ->fault change
out by itself because there are several others who would like to use
it as well.
