But apart from this, it's much more obvious to consider the refcount.
The x86 MMU code doesn't care if the page is reserved or not;
mmu_set_spte does a kvm_release_pfn_clean, hence it makes sense for
hva_to_pfn_remapped to try doing a get_page (via kvm_get_pfn) after
invoking the fault handler, just like the get_user_pages family of
function does.
Well, it's little strange as you always try to get refcont
for a PFNMAP region without MIXEDMAP which indicates all the memory
in this region is no 'struct page' backend.
Fair enough, I can modify the comment.

Excellent. I like it. :)
