I cannot parse this. Which uses do you have in mind? Is it for QEMU-specific or is it for other applications of userfaults? As long as the page is atomically mapped, I'm not sure what the difference from remap_anon_pages are (as far as the destination page is concerned). Are you thinking of having userfaults enabled on the source as well?
