I added memory hotplug to UML to check this out. It seems to be freeing
pages that are outside the desired range. I'm doing the simplest possible
thing - grabbing a bunch of pages that are most likely not dirty yet,
and MADV_TRUNCATEing them one at a time. Everything in UML goes harwire
after that, and the cases that I've looked at involve pages being suddenly
zero.
UML isn't exactly a minimal test case, but I'll give you what you need
to reproduce this if you want.
