I still can't understand why this convoluted fault path that finds
vma, attempts with all kinds of races and then tries to update things
like vm_ops is even nessecary.
We have direct mappings of physical address perfectly working in the
DAX code (even with write support!) or in drivers using remap_pfn_range
so a really good explanation why neither scheme can be used is needed
first.
