In gpc_map_gmem, we convert private->shared. There's no problem here in the non-CoCo case. In gpc_unmap, we *try* to convert back from shared->private. If refcount>2, then the conversion would fail. The last gpc_unmap would be able to successfully convert back to private.

If the caller (in non-CoCo case) wants to restore the direct map right away, it'd have to be a direct operation. As an optimization, we could add option that asks for page in "shared" state. If allocating new page, we can return it right away without removing from direct map. If grabbing existing folio, it would try to do the private->shared conversion.
