We discussed if that is really the right approach for quite a while now, but digging deeper into a bug report on arm turned out that this is actually horrible broken right now. The reason for this is that vmf_insert_mixed_prot() always tries to grab a reference to the underlaying page on architectures without ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL and as far as I can see also enabled GUP. So nuke using VM_MIXEDMAP here and use VM_PFNMAP instead. Also set VM_SHARED, not 100% sure if that is needed with VM_PFNMAP, but better save than sorry.
