Let's implement an alternative when per-page mapcounts in large folios are
no longer maintained -- soon with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT.
PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE will now be set if folio_likely_mapped_shared() is
true -- when the folio is considered "mapped shared", including when
it once was "mapped shared" but no longer is, as documented.
This might result in and under-indication of "exclusively mapped", which
is considered better than over-indicating it: under-estimating the USS
(Unique Set Size) is better than over-estimating it.
As an alternative, we could simply remove that flag with
CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT completely, but there might be value to it. So,
let's keep it like that and document the behavior.

@@ -37,6 +37,15 @@ There are four components to pagemap:
precisely which pages are mapped (or in swap) and comparing mapped
pages between processes.
+ Note that in some kernel configurations, all pages part of a larger
+ allocation (e.g., THP) might be considered "mapped shared" if the large
+ allocation is considered "mapped shared": if not all pages are exclusive to
+ the same process. Further, some kernel configurations might consider larger
+ allocations "mapped shared", if they were at one point considered
+ "mapped shared", even if they would now be considered "exclusively mapped".
+ Consequently, in these kernel configurations, bit 56 might be set although
+ the page is actually "exclusively mapped"

Efficient users of this interface will use ``/proc/pid/maps`` to
determine which areas of memory are actually mapped and llseek to
skip over unmapped regions.
