Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler
in struct vm_operations_struct. For now, this is
just documenting that the function returns a
VM_FAULT value rather than an errno. Once all
instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become
a distinct type.

Odd line length to wrap at, your editor should have told you to use 72
columns, right?

Is the "canonical" way to reference git commit ids, it's easy to set up
an alias for this:
alias gsr='git show -s --abbrev-commit --abbrev=12 --pretty=format:"%h (\"%s\")%n"'
