I won't use NOPAGE_REFAULT, I use NOPFN_REFAULT and that has hit mainline. I will switch to ->fault when I have time to adapt the code, in the meantime, NOPFN_REFAULT should stay. Note that one thing we really want with the new ->fault (though I haven't looked at the patches lately to see if it's available) is to be able to differenciate faults coming from userspace from faults coming from the kernel. The major difference is that the former can be re-executed to handle signals, the later can't. Thus waiting in the fault handler can be made interruptible in the former case, not in the later case.
