Oh right, giga pages, all this new fangled stuff ;-) But yes, I suppose
we can exclude hugetlbfs, we should arguably make the thp muck work
though.
BTW, what keeps mm_struct around? It seems we don't take reference during
page fault.
Last I checked tasks have a ref on their own mm, and seeing this all
runs in task context, the mm should be pretty safe.
