Once that's done, we'll stop maintaining the per-page mapcounts with this config option enabled. CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT will be EXPERIMENTAL for now, as we'll have to learn about some of the real world impact of some of the implications. As writing "!CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" is really nasty, let's introduce a helper config option "CONFIG_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" that expresses the negation.
