This looks good. A few nits below, but with those fixed, feel free to
add:

We try to avoid talking *too* much about the previous version of
the code. Just enough. So, instead of the above two paragraphs,
I'd compress it down to:

Also: introduce get_user_page_fast_only(), and use it in a few
places that hard-code nr_pages to 1.

Silly nit:

Can you please leave the original indentation in place? I don't normally
comment about this, but I like the original indentation better, and it matches
the pin_user_pages_fast() below, too.

Same thing here: you've changed the original indentation, which was (arguably, but
to my mind anyway) more readable, and for no reason. It still would have fit within
80 cols.

I'm sure it's a perfect 50/50 mix of people who prefer either indentation style, and
so for brand new code, I'll remain silent, as long as it is consistent with either
itself and/or the surrounding code. But changing it back and forth is a bit 
aggravating, and best avoided. :)
