Re: [PATCH v2 14/20] mm: Provide speculative fault infrastructure

That makes me extremely nervous... there could be all sort of
assumptions esp. in arch code about the fact that we never populate the
tree without the mm sem.

We'd have to audit archs closely. Things like the page walk cache
flushing on power etc...
Yes the whole thing is quite risky. Probably will need some
kind of per architecture opt-in scheme?
