[PATCH] unpaged: anon in VM_UNPAGED
copy_one_pte needs to copy the anonymous COWed pages in a VM_UNPAGED area,
zap_pte_range needs to free them, do_wp_page needs to COW them: just like
ordinary pages, not like the unpaged.
But recognizing them is a little subtle: because PageReserved is no longer a
condition for remap_pfn_range, we can now mmap all of /dev/mem (whether the
distro permits, and whether it's advisable on this or that architecture, is
another matter). So if we can see a PageAnon, it may not be ours to mess with
(or may be ours from elsewhere in the address space). I suspect there's an
entertaining insoluble self-referential problem here, but the page_is_anon
function does a good practical job, and MAP_PRIVATE PROT_WRITE VM_UNPAGED will
always be an odd choice.
In updating the comment on page_address_in_vma, noticed a potential NULL
dereference, in a path we don't actually take, but fixed it.
