Ok, I don't actually follow how those patches relate to this.

Based on your description I guess I don't need to set PFN_DEV and
perhaps not use vmf_insert_mixed()? And then just use vm_normal_page()?

But the refcounting of the pages seemed like it was already sane to me,
unless you mean that the code no longer has to synchronize_rcu() before
returning the pages... that would be spectacular and clean things up a
lot (plus fix an annoying issue where if you use then free all the
memory you can't allocate new memory for an indeterminate amount of time).
