... but making the anonymous pages use an object based scheme probably will make things too expensive.
IIRC the object based reverse map patches by bcrl and davem both failed on the complexities needed to deal with anonymous pages.
My instinct is that a hybrid system will work well in most cases and the worst case with mapped files won't be too bad.
