XPMEM requires more patches anyway. Note that in previous email you
told me you weren't using it. I think GRU can work fine on 2.6.26
without mmu_notifier_unregister, like KVM too. You've simply to unpin
the module count in ->release. The most important bit is that you've
to do that anyway in case mmu_notifier_unregister fails (and it can
fail because of vmalloc space shortage because somebody loaded some
framebuffer driver or whatever).
