The patch is rather misidentified.

It's a KVM patch and should have been called "kvm: remove ...".
Possibly the KVM maintainers will miss it for this reason.
I noticed it, but I confused it with "mm: unexport __get_user_pages()".

I'll merge this through the KVM tree for -rc3.
Actually Paolo could you hold off on this? As I think on reflection it'd make
more sense to batch this change up with a change to get_user_pages_remote() as
suggested by Michal.
