OK, combining all the feedback to date, which is:

* the leading double underscore is unloved,

* set_page_dirty() is under investigation, but likely guilty of incitement
  to cause bugs,


...we end up with this:

void put_user_pages_dirty_lock(struct page **pages, unsigned long npages,
			       bool make_dirty)

...which I have a v2 patchset for, ready to send out. It makes IB all pretty 
too. :)
