--- Comment #20 from Benjamin Herrenschmidt (benh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) ---
Pardon my ignorance here, but I was under the impression that this was normal
:) The whole point being that the PTE dirty bit gets set when accesses happen,
and latter on gets harvested into the struct page dirty bit.

Otherwise, what would be the point of having a PTE dirty bit in the PTE at all
or transferring a dirty bit from PTE to struct page in try_to_unmap_one() (for
example) if a writable page is always mapped dirty ?
