What is the memcg semantic of the memory? Why is it even charged? AFAIR
this is not a reclaimable memory. If yes how are we going to deal with
memory limits? What should happen if go OOM? Does killing an process
actually help to release that memory? Isn't it pinned by a device?

For the patch itself. It is quite ugly but I haven't spotted anything
obviously wrong with it. It is the memcg semantic with this class of
memory which makes me worried.
