Otherwise the kernel ends up with multiple copies:
$ nm vmlinux | grep dummy_vm_ops
ffffffff81e4ea00 d dummy_vm_ops.2
ffffffff81e11760 d dummy_vm_ops.254
ffffffff81e406e0 d dummy_vm_ops.4
ffffffff81e3c780 d dummy_vm_ops.7

While here prefix it with vma_.

[if someone has better ideas where to put it, please move it]

It really shouldn't be prefixed with vma.  Other than that, I love this
patch.

I think an unprefixed global is iffy, but I'm not going to insist on
semi-cosmetics.

The one thing I expected people to complain about is the location of
the struct. The mm_init.c file was the least bad choice I found, but
maybe something else is preferred?
I'm just trying to avoid sending V3 for this patch after someone
claims dummy ops should land elsewhere. ;)
