Something looks strange with what kni was doing.
Looking at get_user_pages_remote implementation, I see it internally
passes FOLL_TOUCH in addition to passed gup_flags.
And looking at FOLL_TOUCH definition, it seems natural (to me) that
this flag would be handled internally.
Maybe it changed over time... but then the question is when did
passing FOLL_TOUCH become unneeded?
Thanks.
