Lots of places are relying on pin_user_pages long term pins of memory,
and cannot be converted to notifiers.
I don't think it is reasonable to just declare that insecure and
requires privileges, it is a huge ABI break.
FWIW, vhost tries to use notifiers as a replacement for GUP, and I
think it ended up quite strange and complicated. It is hard to
maintain performance when every access to the pages needs to hold some
protection against parallel invalidation.
