I think secretmem behaves much more like longterm GUP right now
("unmigratable", "lifetime controlled by user space", "cannot go on
CMA/ZONE_MOVABLE"). I'd either want to reasonably well control/limit it or
make it behave more like mlocked pages.
I thought I have already asked but I must have forgotten. Is there any
actual reason why the memory is not movable? Timing attacks?
