Yes. I still need to answer the question of whether mapping
invalidation triggers longterm pin holders to relinquish their hold,
but that's a problem regardless of whether gup-fast is supported or
not.
It does not, GUP users do not interact with addres_space or mmu
notifiers
Ok, but the SIGKILL from the memory_failure() will drop the pin?

Can memory_failure() find the right processes to kill if the memory
registration has been passed by SCM_RIGHTS?
