I have both! Do you want me to drop version?

Yes.  Once a kernel is released you can't realistically change the version.

Some documentation for this?

Also, the name should reflect the pv pagefault use.  For other uses
we can register other areas.

I wanted it to be generic, but I am fine with making it apf specific.
It will allow to make it smaller too.

Maybe we can squeeze it into the page-fault error code?

would solve this.  I prefer using put_user() though than a permanent
get_user_pages().

I want to prevent it from been swapped out.

Since you don't prevent the page fault handler or code from being swapped out, you don't get anything out of it.
