At this stage it's a simplification as there are numerous issues that would
need to be overcome to support file-backed mappings.
I actually do plan to extend this work to support shmem and file-backed
mappings in the future as a revision to this work.

It'd be nice to have the man pages live somewhere within the kernel so we
can do this as part of the patch change as things evolve during review, but
obviously moving things about like that is out of scope for this discussion
:)
I do explicitly intend to send a manpage update once this series lands
however.
