Perhaps the performance effect of this patch should go into this patch's
description since it's so dramatic?  I would change-log this as:

The shared fault handler can also benefit from fault-around.  While it
is uncommon to write to MAP_SHARED files, applications that do will see
a huge benefit with will-it-scale:page_fault3 (shared file write fault)
improving by 375%.
