+         * switch to a completely different present page without a TLB flush in
+         * between; something that we are blocking by holding interrupts off.
+         *
+         * Setting ptes from not present to present goes:
+         * ptep->pte_high = h;
+         * smp_wmb();
+         * ptep->pte_low = l;

+         * smp_wmb();
+         * ptep->pte_high = 0;
+         *
+         * We must ensure here that the load of pte_low sees l iff pte_high
+         * sees h. We load pte_high *after* loading pte_low, which ensures we
+         * don't see an older value of pte_high.  *Then* we recheck pte_low,
+         * which ensures that we haven't picked up a changed pte high. We might
+         * have got rubbish values from pte_low and pte_high, but we are
+         * guaranteed that pte_low will not have the present bit set *unless*
+         * it is 'l'. And get_user_pages_fast only operates on present ptes, so
+         * we're safe.
