Btw, zap_page_range() contains a huge TLB flush race: the freed pages
become available immediately to other processes, but stale tlb entries
are only flushed when zap_page_range() returns [check madvise_dontneed,
and several other functions]
A proper fix would be a major change, probably along Kanoj's proposal
(pte_freeze_range).
