"...should track" pages dirtied or potentially dirtied by devices.

As soon as we add support for Yan's DMA r/w the pinning requirement is
gone, besides pinning is an in-kernel implementation detail, the user
of this interface doesn't know or care which pages are pinned.

"Only one of the flags _START, _STOP, and _GET maybe be specified at a
time."  IOW, let's not presume what yet undefined flags may do.
Hopefully this addresses Dave's concern.
