And worse, if we prefault a user-space buffer object map using

find already populated ptes. While the old code looks to just silently
overwrite those, it looks like the new code would BUG in remap_pte_range()?
How can you zap the PTEs using madvise?
Hmm, that's not possible with VM_PFNMAP. My bad. Should be OK then.
