Yeah, this is what we all were looking forward to. However, I decided to use the pp field for the checking since it's not ready for now. So.. Is the current approach okay *for now*, even though the approach should be updated once the type can be checked inside mm later? Or do you want me to wait for it to be ready before this netmem work to remove the pp fields from struct page?
