Hum.

vmf_insert_mixed() boils down to insert_pfn() which always sets the
special bit, so vm_normal_page() returns NULL and thus the pages are
not freed during zap.

So, if the pages are always special and not refcounted all the docs
seem really out of date - or rather they describe the situation
without the special bit, I think.

Why would DAX want to do this in the first place?? This means the
address space zap is much more important that just speeding up
destruction, it is essential for correctness since the PTEs are not
holding refcounts naturally...

Sigh.
