 works:
 
 - userspace app like Xfbdev mmaps framebuffer
-- deferred IO and driver sets up nopage and page_mkwrite handlers
+- deferred IO and driver sets up fault and page_mkwrite handlers
 - userspace app tries to write to mmaped vaddress
-- we get pagefault and reach nopage handler
-- nopage handler finds and returns physical page
+- we get pagefault and reach fault handler
+- fault handler finds and returns physical page
 - we get page_mkwrite where we add this page to a list
 - schedule a workqueue task to be run after a delay
 - app continues writing to that page with no additional cost. this is
