For device memory (aka VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP) MAP_POPULATE does nothing. Allow to use that for initializing the device memory by providing a new callback f_ops->populate() for the purpose. SGX patches are provided to show the callback in context. An obvious alternative is a ioctl but it is less elegant and requires two syscalls (mmap + ioctl) per memory range, instead of just one (mmap).
