Hi Keith,

This patch isn't in your -next pull. This papers over a spurious -EFAULT
in the pwrite/pread paths that actually gets hit in the wild. The real fix
in the form of a almost complete rewrite of the pwrite/pread paths won't
be ready for 3.2.

Do you want me to implement Chris' beautification suggestion? The code
as-is is copied over from the pagecache prefault helper. Otherwise please
consider merging for 3.2.

Yours, Daniel
