This patchset tries to make pagemap useable again in the safe way.
First patch adds bit 'map-exlusive' which is set if page is mapped only here.
Second patch restores access for non-privileged users but hides pfn if task
has no capability CAP_SYS_ADMIN. Third patch removes page-shift bits and
completes migration to the new pagemap format (flags soft-dirty and
mmap-exlusive are available only in the new format).
