You could just reset the present bit of the pages that you want to
remap. Now the next access to these pages will generate a fault and
your nopage() will be called.

And how would you reset the present bit, with a clean and
architecture-independent way ? Of course, one can hack the PTE by hand,
but that's not what I would call "clean" and
"architecture-independent" :-)
you can use set_pte  or set_pte_at.
