Message-ID <[email protected]>
The only files which should be including vma.h are the implementation files
for the core VMA logic - vma.c, vma_init.c, and vma_exec.c.

This is in order to allow for userland testing of core VMA logic. In this
cases, vma_internal.h and vma.h are included, providing both the
dependencies upon which the core VMA logic requires and its declarations.

Userland testable VMA logic is achieved by having separate vma_internal.h
implementations for userland and kernel.

Callers other than the core VMA implementation should include internal.h
instead. This header does not need to include vma_internal.h as it only
contains the vma.h declarations, for which the includes already present
suffice.

Update code to reflect this, update comments to reflect the fact there are
3 VMA implementation files and document things more clearly.

While we're here, slightly improve the language of the comment describing
vma_exec.c.

No functional change intended.
