I think I'll make it simple to charge the parent directly just like what we do
right now.  I do expect that the charged amount could be quite some when
there're a lot pinned pages on the parent process, however hopefully it's
acceptable as it's still a very rare case, and proper MADV_DONTFORK upon pinned
pages on the parent process will eliminate all these charges too.

I actually already prepared some patches.  It's definitely bigger than expected
due to the complexity that we held page table locks in copy_one_pte() when
trying to break the cow pages.  I don't know whether it would be proper any
more for rc, especially the ending of rcs.  Anyway I'll post them out soon
after I did some basic tests, because I think that's something right to do
irrelevant to when it will be merged.

Thanks,
