While it's not adveritsed to the user, AFAICT the user could still
invoke these via ioctls, right?

Is there a problem if the user were to do so, or is it simply not useful

This doesn't look right. Why is the shm page offset being orred-in to
the pages_array physical address? They're completely separate objects.
