The behavior didn't change at all, this whole patch is code sanitization.
It's not worth doing a separate patch for each minor change. The few change
on the arm side is the vm_event request allocation going from xzalloc to
stack based and using monitor_traps now in a split-out function. It really
should be no problem reviewing it. Even Andrew requested minor adjustments
to be included in this patch. Anyway, I'm not looking to change this into a
series. If it's a no go from your side I'm just going to cut down the ARM
side sanitization to the bare minimum of using monitor_traps as the rest
just does not worth the effort.
