It just wouldn't replace existing layers of purging logic until that
edge case is fixed and it gains better THP integration.
It's already a very useful API with significant performance wins over
MADV_DONTNEED, so it will be useful. The only risk involved in landing
it is that a better feature might come along. Worst case scenario being
that the kernel ends up with a synonym for MADV_DONTNEED (but I think
there will still be a use case for this even if a pinning/unpinning API
existed, as this is more precise).
