David,

Note: Excuse me for bothering you but if guard page logic doesn't work
anymore then it can be scraped. It allows me to optimize some cache
flushes in VMAP area - instead of flushing a full cache, just flush a
range of pages.


I don't know what the purpose of guard pages is. I thought it was to produce an OOPs message if you accessed just beyond the end of the vmap area. If people are using them for some other reason, then I am not aware of it.
