... and clarify why this is needed at all right now. It all boils down
to false positives. We will try to remove the false positives for
!ZONE_DEVICE memory, soon, however, for ZONE_DEVICE memory we won't be
able to easily get rid of false positives.
Don't only detect "all holes" but try to shrink using the existing
functions we have.
