Yes, there were other urgent userfaultfd features needed by QEMU and
CRIU queued for merging (hugetlbfs/shmem/non-cooperative support) and
they're all included upstream now. Now that such work is finished,
fixing the WP support to work with KVM and to provide full accuracy
will be the next thing to do.
