    Anton Altaparmakov <aia21@cam.ac.uk> points out:
    
    - It calls fault_in_pages_readable() which is completely bogus if @nr_segs >
      1.  It needs to be replaced by a to be written
      "fault_in_pages_readable_iovec()".
    
    - It increments @buf even in the iovec case thus @buf can point to random
      memory really quickly (in the iovec case) and then it calls
      fault_in_pages_readable() on this random memory.
