I can't see this in linux-next?  I put it in mm/util.c instead of
mm/memory.c: your version will barf on CONFIG_MMU=n AFAICT.

Since I'm the one who wants the export, I guess I'll fwd:

mm: Make generic weak get_user_pages_fast and EXPORT_GPL it

Out of line get_user_pages_fast fallback implementation, make it a weak
symbol, get rid of CONFIG_HAVE_GET_USER_PAGES_FAST.

Export the symbol to modules so lguest can use it.
