OK, this answers my earlier question. Then it should be feasible to
charge this memory. There are still some things to handle. E.g. how do
we consider this memory during oom victim selection (this is not
accounted as an anonymous memory in get_mm_counter, right?), maybe others.
But the primary point is that nobody pins the memory outside of the
mapping.
