What a stupid idiot I am.

I already discuss the exact cases with Nadav Amit at the very beginning
around v1.  I didn't remember it when I was answering to you.

mmap() or changing the permission by user already performs TLB flush
needed within that code, which LUF never touch.

Worth noting currently LUF touchs only unmapping during migration or
reclaim.  Other updating mapping would perform TLB flush it needs, as is.
I guess updating page cache is also already perform TLB flush needed.
I need to check it.  Probably, it would already do.
