This patch removes them in favor of defining integer constants with
mnemonic names and using them as the return codes and in dispatches
on the return values from handle_mm_fault(), and also removing some of
the associated comments explaining what the magic numbers mean at
various points where they were formerly used. In addition two redundant
variables were removed, a comment was added to the bad_wp_page: label
to explain to onlookers more of what the printk() there means, and
failure to match the return code with a value in the various switch()
statements on the return code was flagged as a BUG() at various points.
lines, they might as well all go out in one batch. I am, of course,
willing to adjust/separate various bits as desired.
Cheers,
Bill
