Hi Andrew, This patchset replaces the syscall with emulation which creates new VMA on each remap and remove code to support non-linear mappings. Nonlinear mappings are pain to support and it seems there's no legitimate use-cases nowadays since 64-bit systems are widely available. It's not yet ready to apply. Just to give rough idea of what can we get if we'll deprecated remap_file_pages(). I need to split patches properly and write correct commit messages. And there's still code to remove. Comments?
