    I pity anyone who tried to understand this code by reading this code.
    Can we please get some careful commentary in there explaining what is
    going on, and why things are thus?

    I guess the [3/3] change makes sense, although it's unclear whether
    anyone really needs it? 5.0 was released with 574823bfab8 ("Change
    mincore() to count "mapped" pages rather than "cached" pages") so we'll
    have a release cycle to somewhat determine how much impact 574823bfab8
    has on users. How about I queue up [3/3] and we reevaluate its
    desirability in a couple of months?
