Okay, I have had the uncanny habit of touching the triviality and it reflects on my work ...anyway...this point in the article :

"One should also bear in mind that there is an inevitable discussion on naming to be had; it is already clear that "folio" is not popular, though alternatives are currently thin on the ground. One conclusion is thus clear: the kernel may well get folios or something like them, but it seems unlikely to happen soon."

Matthew and Jon, how about a simple name(well, kernel is a bloody complex thing, it doesn't mean, it has to have a complex or artistic name,does it?) like "page_access" ? (I am sure that I missed certain things, a plethora of kernel API/ABI should have checked before preaching ...:) , which I haven't done so. But ......

Stop fretting at my naivety .... :) ..please...
