This is definitely a wart but there's not much we can do about it.
Currently we can't support mixing p2p pages with regular pages. In the
same way we can't support mixing p2p pages from different sources. No
current users do that and it would be weird for them to want to at this
point.

Yes, we've been doing that for a long time with hacky code that would
never get upstream.

Essentially, if you expose those pages to userspace we also need to
ensure that all other users of GUP either reject those pages or map them
correctly.
