This is my understanding
Though you probably understand what PageAnon means alot better than I
do.. I wonder if it really makes sense to talk about that together
with ZONE_DEVICE which has alot in common with filesystem originated
pages too.
I'm not sure what AMDs plan is here, is there an expecation that a GPU
driver will somehow stuff these pages into an existing anonymous
memory VMA or do they always come from a driver originated VMA?
