But most allocations sites don't have the vma. We allocate page-cache
pages based on its address_space/mapping, not on whatever vma they're
mapped into.
So I still think the sanest way to do this is by making mm_mpin() do a
mm_populate() and have reclaim skip VM_PINNED pages (so they stay
present), and then migrate the lot out of MOVABLE.
