What is _rd and _wt supposed to stand for?
I think it's read and write, but I think the naming is highly
unfortunate.  I started dabbling around with the patches a bit,
and to keep my sanity a started reaming it to _pages and _bvec
which is the real semantics - the _rd or _pages gives you a synthetic
bvec for each page, and the other one gives you the full bvec.
