Right even with pages I pay rcu_read_lock(); for every access?

Good god! This loop is a real *joke*. You have just dropped memory access
performance by 10 fold.
The all point of pages and memory_model.h was to have a one to one
relation-ships between Kernel-virtual vs physical vs page *
There is already an object that holds a relationship of physical
to Kernel-virtual. It is called a memory-section. Why not just
widen its definition?
If you are willing to accept this loop. In current Linux 2015 Kernel
Then I have nothing farther to say.
Boaz - go mourning for the death of the Linux Kernel alone in the corner ;-(
