For the clear failing approach, sounds all good here.

For the name, no strong opinion, but is there any strong one over MOVE?
MOVE is a fine name, however considering UFFDIO_REMAP's long history.. I
tend to prefer keeping it called as REMAP - it still sounds sane, and
anyone who knows REMAP will know this is exactly that.

Thanks,
