Could you elaborate why restricted memfd notifier can be ignored? IIUC if
userspace punch a hole, the pages within the hole will be de-allocated.  So why
can such notifier be ignored?

Btw, I think this patch should be just merged to the patch which consumes those
flags (checked it is next patch).  It's easier to review when putting them
together.
