I think it's fine to remove them but it may mean we'll need to add them back when supporting pfnmaps with no memmap. Is it still possible to make the old API generic to both service the new dax refcount plan, but at the meantime working for pfn injections when there's no page struct? Thanks, -- Peter Xu
