Morally, the question of whether an address lies in a gate vma should be asked
with respect to an mm, not a particular task.

Practically, dropping the dependency on task_struct will help make current and
future operations on mm's more flexible and convenient.  In particular, it
allows some code paths to avoid the need to hold task_lock.

May I suggest ia32_compat instead of just compat for the flag name ?

Yes, sounds good to me.  Will change in the next iteration.

Thanks for the review!
