I'm not a fan of enlarging struct address_space with another pointer
unless it's going to be used by all/most filesystems.  If this is
destined to be a shmem-only feature, then it should be in the
shmem_inode instead of the mapping.

If we are to have this for all filesystems, then let's do that properly
and make it generic functionality from its introduction.
