Again, as I pointed out in the previous version, "Other than" is not
sensible language.

You mean "Unlike".

Same issue in the comment:

> + * Other than fault_in_pages_writeable(), this function is non-destructive even
> + * when faulting in pages for writing.

It really should be

  "Unlike fault_in_pages_writeable(), this function .."

to parse correctly.

I understand what you mean, but only because I know what
fault_in_pages_writeable() does and what the issue was.

And in a year or two, I might have forgotten, and wonder what you meant.
