I've been sending patches like this for over 18 months now with
no comments.  I'm sending it to Linus early next week.  It benefits
ia64's fault handler path and is required for PA-RISC's fault handler.
It works, it's tested.  I realise this puts it in a very different class
from the kind of VM patches which are allowed in a stable kernel tree.

That's discouraging to hear... perhaps some other time to discuss it.

There's also a chunk after find_vma_prev which adds an implementation
of find_extend_vma for machines with stacks which grow up.  I couldn't
be bothered to split it out, since it won't affect any other architecture.

It should be there for correctness.

I say it should go in.
