One thing I'd like to avoid is an MPX vma getting merged with a non-MPX
vma. I don't see any code to prevent two VMAs with different
vm_ops->names from getting merged. That seems like a bit of a design
oversight for ->name. Right?
Thinking out loud a bit... There are also some more complicated but more
performant cleanup mechanisms that I'd like to go after in the future.
Given a page, we might want to figure out if it is an MPX page or not.
I wonder if we'll ever collide with some other user of vm_ops->name. It
looks fairly narrowly used at the moment, but would this keep us from
putting these pages on, say, a tmpfs mount? Doesn't look that way at
the moment.
