Would it be possible to make remap_file_pages an option? I mean, if
you're doing a xen-like usage, remap_file_pages is a good thing, but if
you're in a multiuser system and you want to be friendly when the system
swaps, remap_file_pages can hurt. The worst is when remap_file_pages
covers huge large areas, that forces the vm to walk all the ptes for the
whole vma region for each page that could be mapped by that region.
