Could you explain why do we need this "but not an XOL vma" check?
xol_vma->vm_file is always NULL, no?

But you can't rely on task_lock(), you can race with another thread
with the same ->mm. I guess you need mmap_sem or xchg().

set_instruction_pointer() looks unneded, pre_xol() has already changed
regs->ip.
