BTW is there any reason why we don't support pin_user_pages_fast() with 
FOLL_LONGTERM for
device-dax?

Looking at the history, I understand that fsdax can't support it atm, but I am 
not sure
that the same holds for device-dax. I have this small chunk (see below the 
scissors mark)
which relaxes this for a pgmap of type MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC, albeit not sure 
if there is
a fundamental issue for the other types that makes this an unwelcoming change.

Subject: [PATCH] mm/gup: allow FOLL_LONGTERM pin-fast for
 MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC

The downside would be one extra lookup in dev_pagemap tree
for other pgmap->types (P2P, FSDAX, PRIVATE). But just one
per gup-fast() call.
