Fair enough, I cringed as I took a full pointer for that use case, I'm
happy to look at ways of consolidating or dropping that usage.

Another fix that may put pressure 'struct page' is resolving the
untenable situation of dax being incompatible with reflink, i.e.
reflink currently requires page-cache pages. Dave has talked about
silently establishing page-cache entries when a dax-page is cow'd for
reflink, but I wonder if we could go the other way and introduce the
mechanism of a page belonging to multiple mappings simultaneously and
managed by the filesystem.

Both HMM and ZONE_DEVICE in general are guilty of side-stepping the mm
and I'm in favor of undoing that as much as possible,
