Yea, this wasn't either Minchan or I were particularly fond of, but with
the vm_flags exausted, there wasn't a clear way to do so without doing
the rmap traversal again.
Other suggestions? Extending the vm_flags to 64bits is something many
better mm devs have tried to merge unsuccessfully, so I'm hesitant to
try pushing it myself.
