Good point. Updated comment to:

        /*
         * pseudo flags for the well known (anonymous) memory mapped pages
         *
         * Note that page->_mapcount is overloaded in SLOB/SLUB/SLQB, so the
         * simple test in page_mapped() is not enough.
         */
        if (!PageSlab(page) && page_mapped(page))
                u |= 1 << KPF_MMAP;
