And the first hit is 'fincore', which probably nobody cares about
anyway, but it does

    fd = open (name, O_RDONLY)
    ..
    mmap(window, len, PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE, ..

So, folks here have been using fincore(1) for diagnostic purposes and
are also looking to expand on it to investigate per-cgroup cache
usages (mmap -> mincore -> /proc/self/pagemap -> /proc/kpagecgroup ->
cgroup path).

These are all root-only usages to find out what's going on with the
whole page cache.  We aren't attached to doing things this particular
way but it'd suck if there's no way.

Thanks.
