UFFD handling of MINOR faults is a new feature whose use case is to
speed up demand paging (compared to MISSING faults). So, it's
interesting to let this selftest exercise this new mode.
Modify the demand paging test to have the option of using UFFD minor
faults, as opposed to missing faults. Now, when turning on userfaultfd
with '-u', the desired mode has to be specified ("MISSING" or "MINOR").
If we're in minor mode, before registering, prefault via the *alias*.
This way, the guest will trigger minor faults, instead of missing
faults, and we can UFFDIO_CONTINUE to resolve them.
Modify the page fault handler function to use the right ioctl depending
on the mode we're running in. In MINOR mode, use UFFDIO_CONTINUE.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
