The apply_to_page_range() is dangerous API it does not follow other
mm patterns like mmu notifier. It is suppose to be use in arch code
or vmalloc or similar thing but not in regular driver code. I see
it has crept out of this and is being use by few device driver. I am
not sure we should encourage that.
