This minor patch series remove page_rmapping() and convert the last user
fault_dirty_shared_page() to use a folio.
This patch series works better if you do it in the other order.
First convert the user, then remove the now-unused page_rmapping().

It's almost always a mistake to start with "I want to remove all the
users of API x".  You should be thinking "Here is function y that still
uses pages; I shall convert it to use folios".

Thanks for your feedback.

I'll reverse the order of the two patches. Convert user first, then remove the now-unused page_rmapping().

Best Regards,
Peng
