From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
For diagnosing various performance and memory-leak problems, it is helpful
to be able to distinguish pages which are in use as VMalloc pages.
Unfortunately, we cannot use the page_type field in struct page, as
this is in use for mapcount by some drivers which map vmalloced pages
to userspace.
Use a special page->mapping value to distinguish VMalloc pages from
other kinds of pages. Also record a pointer to the vm_struct and the
offset within the area in struct page to help reconstruct exactly what
this page is being used for.
