Add a bit to vm_flags to indicate a vma shares PTEs with others. Add
a function to determine if a vma shares PTEs by checking this flag.
This is to be used to find the shared page table entries on page fault
for vmas sharing PTEs.

Hi James,
Hi Anthony,
I'm really excited to see this series on the mailing list again! :) I
won't have time to review this series in too much detail, but I hope
something like it gets merged eventually.
Me, too. :-)

Tiny comment - I find vma_is_shared() to be a bit of a confusing name,
especially given how vma_is_shared_maywrite() is defined. (Sorry if
this has already been discussed before.)
How about vma_is_shared_pt()?
Good point. I'll make this change. Thanks for taking a look.
Anthony
