I only care that the name matches what it does.  _VALIDATE sounds like
it does a full validation of everything such that, if the import
succeeds, execbuf will as well.  If we pin the pages at the same time,
maybe that's true?  _PROBE, on the other hand, sounds a lot more like
a one-time best-effort check which may race with other stuff and
doesn't guarantee future success.  That's in line with what the
current patch does.

I have no opinion on this.
