IOW, something like the attached.

Obviously untested. And maybe 'current' isn't declared in
<asm/pgtable.h>, in which case you'd need to modify it to instead make
the inline function be "s390_gup_fast_permitted()" that takes a
pointer to the mm, and do something like

  #define gup_fast_permitted(start, pages) \
         s390_gup_fast_permitted(current->mm, start, pages)

instead.

But I think you get the idea..
