I get the point but I don't think that your proposal could work given
that mprotect-callback takes neither 'prev' nor 'newflags' as its
parameters. The current callback has no means to call mprotect_fixup()
properly.

It would have to be extended

int (*mprotect)(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
struct vm_area_struct **pprev, unsigned long start,
unsigned long end, unsigned long prot,
unsigned long newflags);

Is this what you want?
