True, I just hoped you or one of the other devs might have some
insight on reclaim behaviour that would provide a clue. I guess I'll
try a linux list.

Any comment on this (which is virt related):
(1) a related and possibly dumb question: in the case of a
high-performance KVM where the guest is hugepage backed and pinned in
host memory anyway, why do we still have a table based resolution for
guest physical to host virtual address translation - couldn't this
just be done by offset?
