Bit a bikeshed, but I wonder whether the public interface shouldn't be
vma_is_cow_mapping. Or whether this shouldn't be rejected somewhere else,
since at least in drivers/gpu we have tons of cases that don't check for
this and get it all kinds of wrong I think.
remap_pfn_range handles this for many cases, but by far not for all.
Anyway patch itself lgtm:

I'll try and find some -mm folks to look at this too.
