Oh that one I have not seen... but it looks like this is the approach I
took in VAPI and somehow it looked cumbersome to me.

...although maybe it would be a good idea to follow the approach of
the second patch posted, and make multiple get_user_pages() calls,
skipping along by HPAGE_SIZE.

This avoids having all the extra work of follow_hugetlb_page()
creating extra fake pages and then calling put_page() many times.
